Femme Fatale
Beware the Charms: A Tale of Heartbreak and Deceit
Lyrics
Here she comes, you better watch your step
Warning about a woman approaching, advising caution.
She's going to break your heart in two, it's true
She has the potential to cause heartbreak.
It's not hard to realize
A realization that her actions are discernible.
Just look into her false colored eyes
Her eyes reveal deception or insincerity.
She builds you up to just put you down, what a clown
She raises you up only to bring you down, acting foolishly.
'Cause everybody knows (she's a femme fatale)
Common knowledge about her being a dangerous, seductive woman.
The things she does to please (she's a femme fatale)
Describing the things she does to please, reinforcing her femme fatale nature.
She's just a little tease (she's a femme fatale)
She's a playful tease, adding to her allure.
See the way she walks
Encouraging observation of her physical movements.
Hear the way she talks
Encouraging attention to her way of speaking.
You're written in her book
You're a part of her romantic history or conquest.
You're number 37, have a look
You're just one of many in her romantic pursuits.
She's going to smile to make you frown, what a clown
She manipulates emotions, smiling to cause sadness.
Little boy, she's from the street
Addressing a potential victim as a little boy from the streets.
Before you start, you're already beat
Implying that you're already defeated before starting.
She's gonna play you for a fool, yes it's true
She will deceive and take advantage of you.
'Cause everybody knows (she's a femme fatale)
Reiterating her femme fatale reputation and actions.
The things she does to please (she's a femme fatale)
Highlighting the pleasing actions that make her dangerous.
She's just a little tease (she's a femme fatale)
Emphasizing her teasing nature as a femme fatale.
See the way she walks
Encouraging observation of her physical movements (repeated).
Hear the way she talks
Encouraging attention to her way of speaking (repeated).
