Now I swear I'm not making this one up
I saw her with my own two eyes
A vixen I saw mixin' somethin' in a martini glass
I swear she was as real as you or I
Now I know I was hitting high
Beyond the point all bets were off
Now as she approached I must've hit on nineteen
'Cause the moment she passed, I had lost
A devil in a green dress whose looks were only meant to kill
A damsel putting men in distress with her hips at a tilt
I don't think I can stand this duress
Now no mere mortal could play the game straight
No, not with a distraction like that
Now the dice will roll, the neon will glow and the dealer's ready to go
I swear she was hired to leave a player open to attack
Now you can imagine and you can pretend
And you can think you've got half a chance
But it's a look and be love struck but don't touch deal that your hand'll reveal
When your pockets are empty you'll understand
A devil in a green dress whose looks were only meant to kill
A damsel putting men in distress with her hips at a tilt
I don't think I can stand this duress
A devil in a green dress whose looks were only meant to kill
A damsel putting men in distress with her hips at a tilt
It's time to place your bets and watch your luck wilt
A devil in a green dress whose looks were only meant to kill
I don't think I can stand this duress
