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 play you for a fool it's true
It's not hard to realize
Just look into her false colored eyes
She'll build you up to just put you down
What a clown
Cause everybody knows the things she does to please
She's just a little tease
See the way she walks hear the way she talks
You're written in her book
You're number thirty-seven have a look
She's going to play you for a fool it's true
Little boy on the street
Before you start you're already beat
She's going to smile to make you frown
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
