Beware of Snakes in Dresses

Lyrics

Sitting on a barstool,
With music in my ears.
My eyes were getting cloudy,
I?d had one too many beers.
The barroom went all quiet,
I turned around and saw
Her moving like a snake in a dress, thru the door

She came and sat beside me,
They all watched her like a hawk.
It was hard for me to concentrate
When she began to talk.
She asked me was I doing fine
And could she have a drink?
I didn?t see the venom coming,
?Cos I couldn?t think.

(Chorus)
She took me by surprise,
She brought me to my knees,
She really was the number one, the best.
I didn?t know what hit me
When she walked into my life
She moved on me from nowhere
Took my best
She moved just like a snake.
She moved just like a snake in a dress.

We ended up together
She?d used all of her technique.
But soon the poison started working
Making me feel weak.
It wasn?t long before the lawyers
Started on me too.
The writs and all the legal papers
Came out of the blue.

(1st 4 lines of Chorus)
?til she walked out of my life
She moved on me with lawyers
Took my best
She moved just like a snake.
She really was a snake in a dress.

I gotta tell you guys out there
Who?re sitting on them stools.
Don?t you fall for snakes in dresses.
Don?t you be a fool.
Don?t you let them near you
And keep a clear head
Don?t you let them get you
Trapped inside their marriage bed

(2nd Chorus)
