Sweet is her talk and she smiles like a beauty queen And she's got everything that makes a man start to dream When I'm not with you she's trying to tear us apart Don't let her catch you she's only breaking your heart She's an angel Angel with devil eyes Leave that angel Angel and get wise For she's got uh hu hu hu devil eyes Yeah She's got uh hu hu hu devil eyes Sweet is her kiss and it's turning your head around And you don't think of me and of the true love we've found You'll hear her whisper tenderly calling your name But never trust her she's only playing her game She's an angel Angel with devil eyes Sweet is her talk but every word's a lie And you don't realize she's the spider and you're the fly You don't remember the promises you gave to me When it's too late dear all of a sudden you'll see She's an angel Angel with devil eyes
