Lyrics
Femme Fatale
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Here she comes, you better watch your step
She’s going to break your heart in two, it’s true it’s not hard
to realize
Just look into her false colored eyes
She builds you up to just put you down, what a clown
’cause everybody knows (she’s a femme fatale)
The things she does to please (she’s a femme fatale)
She’s just a little tease (she’s a femme fatale)
See the way she walks
Hear the way she talks
You’re put down in her book
You’re number 37, have a look
She’s going to smile to make you frown, what a clown
Little boy, she’s from the street
Before you start, you’re already beat
She’s gonna play you for a fool, yes it’s true
’cause everybody knows (she’s a femme fatale)
The things she does to please (she’s a femme fatale)
She’s just a little tease (she’s a femme fatale)
See the way she walks hear the way she talks
