Woman Is A Devil
The Doors · Other Songs - The Doors
Walking side by side.
Me and the devil,
Going to take you on a long and evil ride.
The woman is a devil,
That's what I've been told.
Woman is a devil,
That's what I've been told.
She'll take all your money,
Then she'll spend all your gold.
All right.
The devil is a woman.
She's a woman.
Well I play my acts, honey
She take the whole damn role.
Keep on going, now, come on.
All right play it, yeah.
One more time.
Well she feel like dying.
Only twenty-one.
Well she feel like dying,
But she's only twenty-one.
She's not the only,
She's not the only one.
All right, all right, all right.
All right, all right.
Gonna save the whole world.
All right.
Woman Is A Devil
Released in 1968, "Woman Is A Devil" stands as a quintessential example of The Doors' psychedelic rock and jazz-infused pop style. Written by Jim Morrison and Ray Manzarek, the track features the band's signature interplay between Morrison's poetic, often provocative vocals and Manzarek's distinctive organ lines. The song explores themes of female sexuality and the duality of love and danger, reflecting the countercultural spirit of the late 1960s. While it was not included on the band's primary studio albums, its enduring presence in The Doors' discography highlights their ability to blend atmospheric soundscapes with lyrical intensity. The recording remains a defining piece of the era's rock landscape, showcasing the group's unique ability to merge poetic narrative with complex musical arrangements.
