The Devil Is a Gentleman

Le Diable est un Gentilhomme

The Devil Is a Gentleman

Il ne vient pas toujours à minuitHe don't always come in midnight
Brûlé en rouge et parlant de péchéBurned in red and talking sin
Oh il sait comment jouer juste comme il fautOh he knows how to play it just right
Si tu vas le laisser entrerIf you gonna let him in

Svelte et il t'apporte des rosesSleek along and brings you roses
Il a toujours les mots qu'il fautHe's always got the words to say
Juste assez pour que tu ne remarques pasJust enough so you don't notice
Que tu n'es rien d'autre que sa proieThat you ain't nothing but his prey

Parfois, le pire de lui a les meilleures déguisementsSometimes the worst of him have the best disguises
Il ira aussi loin que nécessaire pour rester cachéHe'll go as far as it takes to stay in hiding

Uh tu ne sais pas, tu ne sais pasUh don't you know, don't you know
Mais le diable est un gentilhommeBut the devil is a gentleman
Uh tu ne sais pas, tu ne sais pasUh don't you know, don't you know
Mais le diable est un gentilhommeBut the devil is a gentleman
Uh tu ne sais pas, tu ne sais pasUh don't you know, don't you know
Mais le diable est un gentilhommeBut the devil is a gentleman
Uh tu ne sais pas, tu ne sais pasUh don't you know, don't you know
Mais le diable est un gentilhommeBut the devil is a gentleman

Mais le diableBut the devil
Tu ne sais pas mais le diableDon't you know but the devil

Tu penses savoir où le trouverThink you know just where to find him
Haut perché sur son trône de feuHigh atop his fiery throne
Mais c'est dans les endroits où tu ne regardes pasBut it's the places you ain't lookin'
Qu'il aime faire son chez-soiThat he likes to make his home

Il pourrait être le mieux habillé le dimancheMight be the sharpest dressed on Sunday
Chanter le plus fort dans la choraleSing the loudest in the choir
Mais au moment où arrive le lundiBut by the time he gets the Monday
Il a remis ses mains dans le feuHe's got his hands back in the fire

Parfois, le pire de lui a les meilleures déguisementsSometimes the worst of him have the best disguises
Il ira aussi loin que nécessaire pour rester cachéHe'll go as far as it takes to stay in hiding

Uh tu ne sais pas, tu ne sais pasUh don't you know, don't you know
Mais le diable est un gentilhommeBut the devil is a gentleman
Uh tu ne sais pas, tu ne sais pasUh don't you know, don't you know
Mais le diable est un gentilhommeBut the devil is a gentleman
Uh tu ne sais pas, tu ne sais pasUh don't you know, don't you know
Mais le diable est un gentilhommeBut the devil is a gentleman
Uh tu ne sais pas, tu ne sais pasUh don't you know, don't you know
Mais le diable est un gentilhommeBut the devil is a gentleman

Mais le diableBut the devil
Tu ne sais pas mais le diableDon't you know but the devil
Mais le diableBut the devil
Tu ne sais pas mais le diable est un gentilhommeDon't you know but the devil is a gentleman
Mais le diableBut the devil
Tu ne sais pas mais le diableDon't you know but the devil
Uh tu ne sais pas, tu ne sais pas mais le diable est un gentilhommeUh don't you know, don't you know but the devil is a gentleman
