Do you think I'm such a fool to believe everything you say is true? That just goes to show that you really don't know While you out beating the town, do you think I'm home just sitting around? Waiting on you, now who's really the fool? When I first found out, I heard all over I felt so left out till I got to know her So I tried to wait till you got over And I became just like her so don't be surprised to find That the angel in your arms this morning Is gonna be the devil in some else's arms tonight Yes the angel in your arms this morning Is gonna be the devil in some else's arms tonight I'll just slip around secretly if you were tired of loving me Why'd you keep holding on when love was already gone? The times you said you weren't feeling well, did you think I couldn't tell You've been with somebody else you were only kidding yourself When I first found out, I heard all over I felt so left out till I got to know her So I tried to wait till you got over And I became just like her so don't be surprised to find That the angel in your arms this morning Is gonna be the devil in some else's arms tonight Yes the angel in your arms this morning Is gonna be the devil in some else's arms tonight The angel in your arms this morning Is gonna be the devil in some else's arms tonight Yes the angel in your arms this morning Is gonna be the devil in some else's arms tonight
