From the time that I wake to the time that I rise, she’s a lover and so am I
But the lady loves her passion more than me
When I’m under her spell, then I know very well, how her magic can mystify
And the lady leaves her lovers in ecstasy
She’s young, but she’s wise, and the heaven in her eyes at half a glance
Is as much as a man can see
But she’ll never really love any more than any other lover in her life
And you’ll come to know the devil in Angelique
For a moment it seems I’m a part of her dreams
And she loves like she’s hypnotized
While she hides inside the man she’s made of me
And then just when I’ve found her, her visions surround her
And I’ll never fill her eyes, but I wonder who in hell the young girl sees
And she moans, and she sighs, and you search inside her eyes
But all you find is a man who can never be
And you wonder if she’ll ever discover that the devil could never set her free
She’s young, but she’s wise, and the heaven in her eyes at half a glance
Is as much as any man can see
And you’ll never really lose any more than any other lover has lost in her life
When you’ve come to know the devil in Angelique
And you’ll come to know the devil in Angelique
And you’ll learn to love the devil
