[English]

Shot guns and roses

Make a deadly potion

Heartbreak explosions

In reckless motion

Teddy bears and "I'm sorry" letters

Don't seem to make things better

Don't bury me alive

Sweet talkin' alibi

But I can't stop the rush

And I can't give you up

No I know you're no good for me

You're no good for me

I fell in love with the Devil

And now I'm in trouble

I fell in love with the Devil

I'm underneath his spell (Oh)

Someone send me an angel

To lend me a halo

I fell in love with the Devil

Please save me from this hell (Oh)

...

Got me playin' with fire (Playin' with fire)

Baby, hand me the lighter (Hand me the lighter)

Tastes just like danger (Tastes just like danger)

Chaotic anger

But I can't stop the rush

And I can't give you up

No I know you're no good for me

You're no good for me

I fell in love with the devil

And now I'm in trouble

I fell in love with the Devil

I'm underneath his spell (Oh)

Someone send me an angel

To lend me a halo

I fell in love with the Devil

Please save me from this hell (Oh)

Angels and Devils always fight over me

(Fight over me)

Take me to heaven

Wake me up from this dream

Even in sunlight

Clouds shadow over me (Shadow on me)

It's now or never, wake me up from this dream

...

I fell in love with the Devil

And now I'm in trouble

I fell in love with the Devil

I'm underneath his spell

Someone send me an angel

To lend me a halo

I fell in love with the Devil

Please save me from this hell (This hell)

Dig deep, six feet

(Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh)

Dig deep, it's killin' me (Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh)

I fell in love with the Devil

(Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh)

Dig deep, six feet (And now I'm in trouble)

(I fell in love with the Devil)

Dig deep (Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh)

It's killin' me

...
