Woh who who who yeah yeah yeah
Hey little devil
Hey little devil you're always runnin' around
It's time that someone started bringing you down
There'll be some changes made
Your rovin' days are through
Hey little devil I'm gonna make an angel out of you
Hey little devil you got me all in a whirl
You're a cute little devil and I'm gonna make you my girl
You're out to break my heart
But just before you do
Hey little devil I'm gonna make an angel out of you
They say beware but I don't care 
I love you just the same
You're an old heart breaker and a mischief maker
But I'm wise to your name

'Cause someday soon I'm gonna make you all mine
There'll be no runnin' around
You met your Waterloo
Hey little devil I'm gonna make an angel out of you
Woh woh woh
