She’s got the devil in her heart
But her eyes they tantalize
She’s gonna tear your heart apart
Oh her lips they really thrill me
I’ll take my chances
For romance is
So important to me
She’ll never hurt me
She won’t desert me
She’s an angel sent to me
She’s got the devil in her heart
No, no, this I can’t believe
She’s gonna tear your heart apart
No, no nay will she deceive
I can’t believe that she’ll ever ever go
Not when she hugs and says she loves me so
She’ll never hurt me
She won’t desert me
Listen can’t you see
She’s got the devil in her heart
Oh, no, no, no, this I can’t believe
She’s gonna tear your heart apart
No no nay will she deceive
Don’t take chances if your romance is
So important to you
She’ll never hurt me
She won’t desert me
She’s an angel sent to me
She’s got the devil in her heart
Oh, no, no, no, no this I can’t believe
She’s gonna tear your heart apart
No, no nay will she deceive
She’s got the devil in her heart
No she’s an angel sent to me
She’s got the devil in her heart
No she’s an angel sent to me
Exploring Temptation and Trust in “Devil In Her Heart”
“Devil In Her Heart,” recorded by The Beatles, is a captivating blend of intrigue and romance. The lyrics tell the story of a man warned about a woman with a dangerous reputation—she “has the devil in her heart.” Despite the warnings, the protagonist is mesmerized by her charm and refuses to believe she could ever harm him. This tension between suspicion and trust captures the thrill of infatuation, where the allure of love outweighs caution. The repeated insistence that she’s an “angel sent to me” brings out the theme of seeing the best in someone, even when others doubt their intentions.
