I've had nothing but bad luck

Since the day I saw the cat at my door

So I came into you sweet lady

Answering your mystical call

Crystal ball on the table

Showing the future,the past

Same cat with them evil eyes

And I knew it was a spell she cast

She's just a devil woman

With evil on her mind

Beware the devil woman

She's gonna get you

She's just a devil woman

With evil on her mind

Beware the devil woman

She's gonna get you from behind

Give me the ring on your finger

Let me see the lines on your hand

I can see me a tall dark stranger

Giving you what you hadn't planned

I drank the potion she offered me

I found myself on the floor

Then I looked in those big green eyes

And I wondered what I'd come there for

She's just a devil woman

With evil on her mind

Beware the devil woman

She's gonna get you

She's just a devil woman

With evil on her mind

Beware the devil woman

She's gonna get you from behind

Stay away, look out!

If you're out on a moonlit night

Be careful of them neighbourhood strays

Of a lady with long black hair

Tryin' to win you with her feminine ways

Crystal ball on the table

Showing the future,the past

Same cat with them evil eyes

You'd better get out of there fast

She's just a devil woman

With evil on her mind

Beware the devil woman

She's gonna get you

She's just a devil woman

With evil on her mind

Beware the devil woman

She's gonna get you...
