A broken man stepped out on a ledge today She was the devil, with an angel's face
Sprayed him down in kerosene then threw a match his way They stood laughing at the man in his dismay
He should have listened when they told him she's a liar That shapely mercenary, heart for hire
Never trust a woman dressed in black She'll steal your heart, she ain't never comin' back Can't sleep at night, just lie awake in bed Somehow I always thought the devil dressed in red
Spit hot venom but make it sound so sweet Dropped off too fast and he was in too deep
For eyes like that you'd do anything A cheap motel, or a wedding ring
Tight black dress and milky white thighs She ain't showin' all her cards, she's got a few to hide
A murder of crows, just waitin' around They always seem to know when somethin' bad is going down
Never trust a woman dressed in black She'll steal your heart, she ain't never comin' back Can't sleep at night, just lie awake in bed Somehow I always thought the devil dressed in red
