He don't always come in midnight
Burned in red and talking sin
Oh he knows how to play it just right
If you gonna let him in

Sleek along and brings you roses
He's always got the words to say
Just enough so you don't notice
That you ain't nothing but his prey

Sometimes the worst of him have the best disguises
He'll go as far as it takes to stay in hiding

Uh don't you know, don't you know
But the devil is a gentleman
Uh don't you know, don't you know
But the devil is a gentleman
Uh don't you know, don't you know
But the devil is a gentleman
Uh don't you know, don't you know
But the devil is a gentleman

But the devil
Don't you know but the devil

Think you know just where to find him
High atop his fiery throne
But it's the places you ain't lookin'
That he likes to make his home

Might be the sharpest dressed on Sunday
Sing the loudest in the choir
But by the time he gets the Monday
He's got his hands back in the fire

Sometimes the worst of him have the best disguises
He'll go as far as it takes to stay in hiding

Uh don't you know, don't you know
But the devil is a gentleman
Uh don't you know, don't you know
But the devil is a gentleman
Uh don't you know, don't you know
But the devil is a gentleman
Uh don't you know, don't you know
But the devil is a gentleman

But the devil
Don't you know but the devil
But the devil
Don't you know but the devil is a gentleman
But the devil
Don't you know but the devil
Uh don't you know, don't you know but the devil is a gentleman
