[Verse 1]
He's got a way of walking
He's got a way of talking
A way to fascinate me all the time
And he's got a way with women
A way to keep my head a swimming
He's got away too many times

[Chorus]
Ooh, speaking of the devil
Well, here he comes now
Looking like an angel
Got my defenses down
He's got me dreaming
Got me scheming
Ooh, speaking' of the devil
He is driving me wild
With that wicked little grin
And that fire in his eyes
He's got me dreaming
Got me steaming
Ooh, speaking of the devil
It feels mighty close to heaven
And I'd go through hell to make him mine

[Verse 2]
He's got his spell upon me
Got to be his one and only
Burning with passion and desire
Ooh, I'm caught up in all his magic
It surely would be tragic
To never share the heat
From all this fire

[Chorus]
Ooh, speaking of the devil
Well, here he comes now
Looking like an angel
Got my defenses down
He's got me dreaming
Got me scheming
Ooh, speaking' of the devil
He is driving me wild
With that wicked little grin
And that fire in his eyes
He's got me dreaming
Got me steaming
Ooh, speaking of the devil
It feels mighty close to heaven
And I'd go through hell to make him mine
Ooh, speaking of the devil
Well, here he comes now
Looking like an angel
Got my defenses down
He's got me dreaming
Got me scheming
Ooh, speaking' of the devil
He is driving me wild
With that wicked little grin
And that fire in his eyes
He's got me dreaming
Got me steaming
Ooh, speaking of the devil
It feels mighty close to heaven
And I'd go through hell to make him mine

[Outro]
Speaking of the devil
Speaking of the devil
I'd go through hell to make him mine

Dolly Rebecca Parton (born January 19, 1946) is an American singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, actress, author, and philanthropist, best known for her work in country music

Beginning her career as a child performer, Parton issued a few modestly successful singles from 1959 through the mid-1960s, showcasing her distinctive soprano voice. She came to greater prominence in 1967 as a featured performer on singer Porter Wagoner’s weekly television program; their first duet single, a cover of Tom Paxton’s “The Last Thing on My Mind”, was a top-ten hit on the country singles charts, and led to several successful albums before they ended their partnership in 1974. Moving towards mainstream pop music, Parton’s 1977 single “Here You Come Again” was a success on both the country and pop charts. A string of pop-country hits followed into the mid-1980s, the most successful being her 1981 hit 9 to 5" (from the film of the same name), and her 1983 duet with Kenny Rogers “Islands in the Stream”, both of which topped the U.S. pop and country singles charts. A pair of albums recorded with Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris were among her later successes. In the late 1990s, Parton returned to classic country/bluegrass with a series of acclaimed recordings
