Lyrics

[Verse 1]

The devil and I got up to dance a slow dance

The devil and I got up to dance a slow dance

She held my waist and took my hand

And swung me 'round into a trance

The devil and I began to dance a slow dance

[Verse 2]

She showed her tongue and had the nerve to ask me

Yes, all at once, she had the nerve to ask me

I'll leave your body on this floor

'Cause it's your soul I came here for

The devil and I were caught up in a slow dance

[Chorus]

Woah-oh, there's no way in the world to save you now

This kiss the sweetest poison that I found

Before I let you go

I'll take you down

I'll take you down, down, down

[Verse 3]

As Ella sang, the room was moving faster

She smiled a fatal smile and so I asked her

She said, "There is to be no turning back

I'm strong, I'm beautiful and Black"

The devil and I were caught up in a slow dance

[Chorus]

Woah-oh, there's no way in the world to save you now

This kiss the sweetest poison that I found

And before I let you go

I'll take you down

I'll take you down, down, down

[Verse 4]

And after that, I really don't remember

She fell on me and forced me to surrender

I woke up to a different life

But I could not forget those eyes

The night the devil held me in a slow dance

[Chorus]

Oh, there's no way in the world to save you now

This kiss the sweetest poison that I found

And before I let you go

I'll take you down

I'll take you down, down, down
