Devil in Disguise
Cherryholmes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She's a devil in disguise
You can see it in her eyes
She's tellin' dirty lies
She's a devil in disguise in disguise

Well a woman like that all she does is hate you
She doesn't know what makes a man a man
She'll talk about the times that she's been with you
And she'll speak your name to anyone she can

She's a devil in disguise
You can see it in her eyes
She's tellin' dirty lies
She's a devil in disguise in disguise

Unhappiness has been her close companion
Her world is filled with jealousy and doubt
It sets her off to see somebody crying
And she's just the kind that you can't live without

She's a devil in disguise
You can see it in her eyes
She's tellin' dirty lies
She's a devil in disguise in disguise

Her number always turns up in your pocket
Whenever you are looking for a dime
You can call her up and brother I will bet you
That the moon is full and you're just wasting time

She's a devil in disguise
You can see it in her eyes




She's tellin' dirty lies
She's a devil in disguise in disguise
