F:
I met a man last evenin’,
With a grin too smooth to trust.
A silver tongue like satin,
And eyes the color of dusk.
M:
Oh, darling don’t be frightened,
A little charm can hypnotize.
I’m only playin’ friendly—
Though the fire’s in my eyes.
F:
You talk like velvet whiskey,
But I know your clever style…
Beneath that polished halo
Lies a sinner all the while.
M:
Now sugar, that’s unfair of you,
I’m gentle as can be—
But even angels lose their wings
When they take a chance on me.
Both (soft harmony):
Oh, he’s a devil in a white-tie smile,
A troublemaker dressed worthwhile.
He’ll spin you close, then steal your breath—
A little heaven with a taste of death.
F:
Your footsteps echo mischief,
Your shadow dances red.
The devil wrote your story,
And you’re livin’ every thread.
M:
Perhaps I’m tempted by you,
Perhaps I’m cursed to roam—
But you’re the flame that pulls me in
And burns me like a home.
F:
Don’t think your charm will save you,
I see through every lie…
M (overlapping):
Yet you’re still standin’ near me,
Like a moth that longs to fry.
Both:
We play this game of danger,
A tango sharp as knives.
Two sinners swingin’ in the dark,
With spark-struck, stolen lives.
F:
So take my hand, you devil—
One waltz before we fall.
M:
I’ll lead you through the shadows,
And you’ll love me most of all.
Both (final refrain, big jazz swell):
Yes, he’s a devil in a white-tie smile,
She’s the angel I corrupt with style.
We dance on sin, we kiss on fire—
A duet doomed by dark desire.
