Femme Fatale
R.E.M. · Dead Letter Office [1987]
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 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
(Chorus 'til fade)
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 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
(Chorus 'til fade)
