Are you a devil or an angel
Sent here from heaven or from hell?
Sweet temptress, I'm wrapped in your tangles
Can't find my way out of your spell

Girl, there's an ace in your back pocket
And I know you're gonna play it 'cause you got it
You got that sweet look you know how to flaunt it
And you know just what to do to make me want it

You gimme those eyes you know I can't fight
You gimme that look that I can't deny
You're in control and girl, you know it
And I hate you for it

I hate you for it
I hate you for the way you make me love you
Like I'm punch-drunk crazy
You're in control and girl, you know it
And I hate you for it

And with my plans, you know I'm breaking
If you tempt me with them candy lips, I wanna taste 'em
I know your game, girl, I know what you're doing
But it don't matter baby, you still make me lose it

You gimme those eyes you know I can't fight
You tell me the way I'm gonna make you mine
You're in control and girl, you know it
And I hate you for it

(Whoa-oh) and I hate you for it
(Whoa-oh) and I hate you for it

I hate you for the way you make me love you
Like I'm punch-drunk crazy
You're in control and girl, you know it
And I hate you for it

Are you a devil or an angel (I hate you for it)
Sent here from heaven or from hell?
Sweet temptress, I'm wrapped in your tangles (I hate you for it)
Can't find my way out of your spell

You gimme those eyes you know I can't fight
You gimme that look that I can't deny
You're in control and girl, you know it
And I hate you for it, yeah, yeah

Oh, I hate you for it

I hate you for the way you make me love you
Like I'm punch-drunk crazy
You're in control and girl, you know it
And I hate you for it, yeah, yeah

Yeah, I hate you for it (yeah, yeah)
'Cause I think I love you, girl (yeah, yeah)
Oh yeah, I love you, girl (yeah, yeah)
And I hate you for it

Are you a devil or an angel
Sent here from heaven or from hell?
