He's got barbed wire in his soul, lips like sugarcane
A hand that you can't hold, his kiss'll take your breath away
He's a rose with poison thorns, a trap set in the woods
It'll snare your heart and tear your heart,
Yeah he'll end you for good
It's that autumn wind in summer time, that whisper on the breeze
The shadow in the corner where the clearing meets the trees
He's the darkness in the night when stars are hidden by the clouds
When your stomach twists and turns in knots
And there ain't no one around
That's that brown-eyed devil, devil coming for you
He's a brown-eyed devil twisting on the knife
That silver tongue bullet of sweet nothing lies
He's a demon at the door and a stranger in the night
He's that urge in you to take a chance when you switch off the light
He's a brown-eyed devil boy and he'll take your life
He's the chill that makes you ill when you thought it was just cold
The writing on your gravestone when you're twenty-five years old
He's the hope you had and lost because you've given all you got
It's a war zone in your mind and you just end up get shot
And that's the brown-eyed devil, devil coming for you
He's a brown-eyed devil twisting on the knife
That silver tongue bullet of sweet nothing lies
He's a demon at the door and a stranger in the night
He's that urge in you to take a chance when you switch off the light
He's a brown-eyed devil boy and he'll take your life
Well he comes off like a sweetheart to everybody else
But the truth is he's a devil and he's in love with himself
Everyone don't know, yeah, there's more than meets the eye
He's a falling sun, he's every bit a wolf in sheep's disguise
He's a brown-eyed devil twisting on the knife (twisting on the knife)
That silver tongue bullet of sweet nothing lies (sweet nothing lies)
He's a demon at the door and a stranger in the night
(Stranger in the night)
He's that urge in you to take a chance when you switch off the light
He's a brown-eyed devil boy and he'll take your life
(Brown-eyed devil boy)
He's got barbed wire in his soul, lips like sugarcane
A hand that you can't hold, his kiss'll take your breath away
He's a rose with poison thorns, a trap set in the woods
It'll snare your heart and tear your heart,
Yeah he'll end you for good
