Elvis Presley - (You're The) Devil in Disguise

"(You're The) Devil in Disguise" is a song recorded by Elvis Presley in 1963. The song was written by Bill Giant, Bernie Baum, and Florence Kaye. It was released as a single in 1963 and reached number three on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

The song's lyrics tell the story of someone who realizes that the person they've been involved with is not who they appeared to be. They initially seemed like an angel but turned out to be deceitful and harmful, hence the metaphorical "devil in disguise." The protagonist discovers the true nature of this person and vows to stay away from them despite their deceptive charm.

In essence, the song reflects themes of betrayal, deceit, and the realization that appearances can be deceiving. It's a cautionary tale about being wary of those who may not have good intentions, even if they seem appealing on the surface.

Lyrics
 
You look like an angel (look like an angel)Walk like an angel (walk like an angel)Talk like an angelBut I got wise
You're the devil in disguiseOh, yes, you are, devil in disguise
You fooled me with your kissesYou cheated and you schemedHeaven knows how you lied to meYou'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 angelBut I got wise
You're the devil in disguiseOh, yes, you are, devil in disguise
I thought that I was in heavenBut I was sure surprisedHeaven help me, I didn't seeThe devil in your eyes
You look like an angel (look like an angel)Walk like an angel (walk like an angel)Talk like an angelBut I got wise
You're the devil in disguiseOh, yes, you are, devil in disguise
You're the devil in disguiseOh, yes, you are, devil in disguiseOh, yes, you are, devil in disguiseOh, yes, you are, devil in disguiseOh, yes, you are, devil in disguise
