Song lyrics
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 37, have a look
She's going to play you for a fool
Yes it's true
Little boy on the street
Before you start, you're already beat
She's gonna 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
'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)
Oh
