The Devil is a Gentleman - Merci Raines


He don't always come at midnight
Burnin' red and talking sin
But he knows how to play it just right
If you gonna let him in

Sleek along and brings you roses
He's always got the words to say
Just enough so you don't notice
That you ain't nothing but his prey

Sometimes the worst of 'em have the best disguises
He'll go as far as it takes to stay in hiding

Oh, don't you know, don't you know
'Bout the devil, he's a gentleman
Oh, don't you know, don't you know
'Bout the devil, he's a gentleman
Oh, don't you know, don't you know
'Bout the devil, he's a gentleman
Oh, don't you know, don't you know
'Bout the devil, he's a gentleman
'Bout the devil
Don't you know 'bout the devil

Think you know just where to find him
High atop his fiery throne
But it's the places you ain't lookin'
That he likes to make his home

Might be the sharpest dressed on Sunday
Sing the loudest in the choir
But by the time he gets to Monday
He's had his hands back in the fire

Sometimes the worst of 'em have the best disguises
He'll go as far as it takes to stay in hiding

Oh, don't you know, don't you know
'Bout the devil, he's a gentleman
Oh, don't you know, don't you know
'Bout the devil, he's a gentleman
Oh, don't you know, don't you know
'Bout the devil, he's a gentleman
Oh, don't you know, don't you know
'Bout the devil, he's a gentleman
'Bout the devil
Don't you know 'bout the devil
'Bout the devil
Don't you know 'bout the devil
He's a gentleman
'Bout the devil
Don't you know 'bout the devil
Ooh, don't you know, don't you know
'Bout the devil, he's a gentleman
