    C                G
He comes on smooth, cool and kind,
    A#                  F
But he wants your body not your mind.
 C               G
He's got style, personality,
    A#             F
But he's the devil in reality.
       C               G
He'll make you laugh, make you smile,
    A#                 F
And make you feel good for a while.
 C             G
Wicked smile, decadent grin,
A#               F
He likes school girls, nuns and virgins.
C            G            A#      F
His skin is soft but his mind is hard,
C              G              A#        F
He'll lead you on then he'll tear you apart.

        F                                  Am/E
He'll treat you rough and he will make you cry,
    F/D#                               Dm
And you will kiss sweet innocence good-bye.
    F+                               Dm
And once you're in there'll be no getting out,

    F+   Dm   F+   Dm   F+   Dm   F+   Dm
So look out, look out, look out, look out.

Chorus:
     A#         F          C
He's evil. He's evil. He's evil.
     Em         G
He's evil. He's evil.
     A#         F          C
He's evil. He's evil. He's evil.
     Em         G
He's evil. He's evil.

He's got wit, he's got charm
But when he gets rough, he'll break your arm
He's got taste, manners, and grace
But when he gets tough he'll slit your face
He'll buy you jewels, expensive clothes
Then his mind'll go and then he'll bust your nose
He's a joker and a clown
But he'll pervert you and drag you down

He comes on smooth, cool, and kind
But he wants your body and not your mind
He is just the devil in disguise
He'll drag you down and he will make you cry
And once you're in there will be no getting out
So look out, look out, look out
Look out, look out, look out

Chorus - x5
