Devil in That Dress

Lyrics

(spoken word) Mmm... look at her... (whispered) Red dress... bad idea... (soft) ...and I'm already crossing the room She's leaning on the bar like she owns the night Whiskey in her hand, trouble in her eyes Every man in here forgot how to breathe (soft) But she's looking dead at me I know that look, I know that game I know I'll never be the same (building) But I'm a sinner and she knows my name My mama warned me 'bout a woman like this (building intensity) One taste of that mouth and a grown man goes missing I should walk... but my feet won't quit There's a devil in that dress — (have mercy) Red silk and sin, and she knows it — (oh she knows it) Cross that floor, baby, wreck me slow — (come wreck me slow) I'm a dead man walking and I don't wanna go (harmonized) Devil in that dress... (ad-lib) Lord, have mercy... Devil in that dress... and she's all mine tonight She crossed the room, put her lips to my ear (breathy) Said "I've been wet for you all damn year" Hand slid past my belt, gripped me slow (soft) Right there in the dark where the lights won't go Bit my neck, breathed "take me home" (building) Best kind of trouble I have ever known My mama warned me 'bout a woman like this (building intensity) One night in those arms and a grown man goes missing I should run... but I'm done resisting it There's a devil in that dress — (have mercy) Red silk and sin, and she knows it — (oh she knows it) Cross that floor, baby, wreck me slow — (come wreck me slow) I'm a dead man walking and I don't wanna go (harmonized) Devil in that dress... (ad-lib) Lord, have mercy... Devil in that dress... and she's all mine tonight (whispered) Back at mine, that red dress hits the floor (breathy) Nothing underneath but the heels she wore (soft) Dropped to her knees on my kitchen tile, took me in like a prayer (raw) Devil in her eyes, looking up while she worshipped me there (breathy) Then I had her on the counter, thighs spread, screaming my name (breaking) She unmade me slow... and I thanked her for the fall (building intensity) Bent her over slow where the streetlight spills Every stroke had her clawing at the windowsill (ad-lib) Just like that... don't stop... Moaning my name to the dark of the room (raw) Riding a sin I will never confess (soft) Sweat and red silk in a beautiful mess There's a devil in that dress — (have mercy) Red silk and sin, and she owns it — (oh she owns it) Pinned me down, baby, wrecked me slow — (she wrecked me slow) I'm a dead man walking and I'll never go (crescendo) Devil in that dress... (ad-lib) Lord, have mercy... (harmonized) Devil in that dress... and she's all mine tonight (soft) Pour me one more... (whispered) ...she's still here in the morning (breathy) Red dress on my floor... (warm) Best mistake I ever made (fading) Devil in that dress... (echo) ...have mercy...
