Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Walk like an angel (walk like an angel)
Talk like an angel
But I got wise
You're the devil in disguise
Oh yes you are
Devil in disguise
You fooled me with your kisses
You cheated and you schemed
Heaven knows how you lied to me
You're not the way you seemed
You look like an angel (look like an angel)
Walk like an angel (walk like an angel)
Talk like an angel
But I got wise
You're the devil in disguise
Oh yes you are
Devil in disguise, mhm
I thought that I was in heaven
But I was sure surprised
Heaven help me, I didn't see
The devil in your eyes
You look like an angel (look like an angel)
Walk like an angel (walk like an angel)
Talk like an angel
But I got wise
You're the devil in disguise
Oh yes you are
Devil in disguise
You're the devil in disguise
Oh yes you are
Devil in disguise
Mhm (oh yes you are)
Devil in disguise
Oh yes you are
Devil in disguise
Oh yes you are
Devil in disguise
Oh yes you are
The song Devil in Disguise by Elvis Presley delves into the theme of deceit and betrayal in a romantic relationship. In the opening verse, Elvis describes his lover as an angel, but he later realizes that she's a devil in disguise. He sings about how she fooled him with her kisses, cheated, schemed, and lied to him as she pretended to be someone she's not.
Elvis further explains how he thought he was in heaven when he met her, but he later realized that she was the devil himself. He says that he didn't see the devil in her eyes, and he got wise to her devilish ways. The song's tone is one of regret, pain, and disbelief, as Elvis discovers his lover's true character.
