Pretty Little Devil
Ocean Alley Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Her panties were on fire when she took your life and tried to burn it to the ground
And he was too naive, to see the crazy lady she could be, his world's too small and crowded by these lies and trickery
She had a plan to steal his mojo
A predator in slowmo moving through the darkness of the shadows in the night
And he escaped so gracefully and who knows who this boy could be without the pretty little devil on his back
She's gonna make you her man
There's no escaping what she wanted and in his head she haunted every thought and moment that he wanted for himself
And she knew just the place to be and so she speak dishonestly to find the way to take him fool in the dark
So run, run, run as fast as you can 'cause the devil woman's coming and she's gonna make you her man
She's gonna make you her man
She's been talking to herself and moves onto someone else
She'll be back another day, pretty devil's got to play
