Now & then when friends drop in
They say I've changed my bag to their surprise, yes I have
You know they call the priest to pray for me
They say my woman's Satan in disguise, yeah they do
Yeah, but an exorcist can't resist her kiss
Eternal & I bet you
That you'd believe in the spell she weaved
Like I do if she met you
& if this love Jones is a curse
Then I'm ready for the worst

The devil in Mrs. Jones makes me wanna raise a little hell in the home
The devil in Mrs. Jones makes me wanna raise a little hell in the home

If I'm possessed, I must confess
That I would trade a lifetime for an hour, yes I would
Wrapped in her arms & ugly charms
You know the girl has got me in her power & it feels so good
I was wise to get some advice
From an old friend, he's a gypsy
He read my palm & told me I'd have good luck
But I'd have to keep it with me
& with that forecast I can't lose
Just can't lose with the stuff she used

The devil in Mrs. Jones makes me wanna raise a little hell in the home
The devil in Mrs. Jones makes me wanna get up & get it on

You see, I was wise to get some advice
From an old friend, he's a gypsy
He read my palm & told me "Boy, you're gonna have good luck
But I gotta keep the Devil with me"
& with that forecast I can't lose
Just can't lose with the stuff she used

(repeat & fade) :
The devil in Mrs. Jones makes me wanna raise a little hell in the home
The devil in Mrs. Jones makes me wanna get up & get ït on
