Bad news

Her skirt goes down to her elbows
Her shoes are sharper than nails
With legs so long they never seem to stop
When she walks she steals the wind from your sails

Her eyes are holdin’ secrets that are rarely told
Her voice full of promises made
Her hands possess the power over hot and cold
Her lips so full they drive you insane

I’d do anything for her favors
Even walk a hundred miles through the fire
And she soon became my only desire

Don’t you know that she’s bad news
Lookin’ for someplace to happen
And after she’s had you
All that’s left is an empty shell
Don’t you know that she’s bad news
Her beauty’s just the bait for the trappin’
And after she’s had you, hell is just a place
If I ever see that face it would be
A hundred years too soon

You may just want to take a chance and let it fly
You say, “No one in the world is that mean.”
So, take it fast, make it last ‘cause by and by
She’ll turn you inside out and strip you clean

So, take it from one with burnt fingers
I was sure I could hit and run
But, she turned me over just for fun

(Repeat chorus)

(Bridge)

I can’t remember just how it started
I lost my place and I fell behind
The next thing I new I was broken hearted
All the time seemed to fly, I knew that I
Was beginning to lose my mind

I’ve looked in the eyes of the devil
Stood in line for the seat by the fire
When she fanned the flames of pure desire

(Repeat chorus)
