She Saw Me Coming
The Rolling Stones · The Rolling Stones Box Set [2009]
She saw me coming, yeah
I didn't see a thing
I wasn't looking
I just walked into it
Sucker for it, I'm a sucker
Thought I was so cool
She saw me coming
Boy did I get screwed
She saw me coming
She had me dead to right
Her aim was stunning
I was lined up in her sites
She worked so fast
And she didn't mess around
It was all over
Before the sun goes down, before the sun goes down
She saw me coming... Yeah
She saw me coming
She moved in for the kill
She saw me coming
She served up on a grill
She busted in and she burglarized my soul
But now the bad news: she's out on a roll
She wrote the opening
The middle and the end
What a cast of characters
Of lovers and my friends
The plot was twisted
There was only one result
She saw me coming
But the going, going got too tough
She saw me coming
Yeah, yes she did
She saw me coming
Right on the grid, right on the grid
She saw me coming
Oh what a stupid jerk
She saw me coming
She was a piece of work
She must have tapped my phone
She saw me coming
I felt like I was cloned
She saw me coming
She had me on the ropes
She saw me coming
Took me for a dope
She saw me coming
Yes she did, yes she did
She saw me coming
She Saw Me Coming
