Lyrics
Here she comes
Introduction of the subject, likely a woman.
Better watch your step
Cautioning someone to be careful in their interactions with her.
She's going to break your heart in two
Warning that she has the potential to cause emotional pain.
Yeah, it's true
Affirmation of the truth in the previous statement.
It's not hard to realize
Emphasizing the ease of recognizing her intentions.
Just look into her false-colored eyes
Describing her eyes as deceptive or insincere.
She'll bring you up just to put you down
She will build you up only to bring you down emotionally.
Oh, what a clown
Expressing a sense of foolishness or naivety in falling for her.
'Cause everbody knows
Stating that her behavior is widely known.
(Femme Fatale)
Reference to her as a Femme Fatale, a seductive and dangerous woman.
The things she does to please
Describing the manipulative actions she takes to please others.
(Femme Fatale)
Reiterating her teasing nature.
She's just a little tease
Emphasizing her role as a seductress.
(Femme Fatale)
Repeating the term "Femme Fatale" to reinforce her dangerous allure.
See the way she walks
Observing her physical demeanor.
And hear the way she talks
Listening to her speech and tone.
You're written in her book
Describing the subject as having a list of conquests.
You're number forty-seven - have a look
Assigning a numerical value to the person in her romantic pursuits.
She's going to play you for a fool
Confirming her intention to manipulate and deceive.
Yeah, it's true
Reaffirming the truth of her duplicitous nature.
Little boy, she's from the street
Describing her as being street-smart.
Before you start, you're already beat
Implying that one is at a disadvantage before even starting with her.
She'll use her smile just to make you frown
Her smile is used to manipulate emotions negatively.
Oh, what a clown
Reiteration of the foolishness in dealing with her.
'Cause everbody knows
Reaffirmation that her behavior is widely recognized.
