Lyric
You look like an angel
Walk like an angel
Talk like an angel
But I got wise
You’re the devil in disguise
Oh yes you are
The devil in disguiseYou fooled me with your kisses
You cheated and you schemed
Heaven knows how you lied to me
You’re not the way you seemedYou look like an angel
Walk like an angel
Talk like an angel
But I got wiseYou’re the devil in disguise
Oh yes you are
The devil in disguiseI thought that I was in heaven
But I was sure surprised
Heaven help me, I didn’t see
The devil in your eyesYou look like an angel
Walk like an angel
Talk like an angelBut I got wise
You’re the devil in disguise
Oh yes you are
The devil in disguiseYou’re the devil in disguise
Oh yes you are
The devil in disguise
Oh yes you are
The devil in disguise
Oh yes you are
The devil in disguise
Oh yes you are
The devil in disguise
