Lean and sultry lady
Stalking through the night.
She’s looking for a lover,
But don’t you hold her tight.
She watches in the darkness.
She knows just where you are.
Don’t even try to run from her,
Because you won’t get very far.
Because the lady is a killer.
She’s trying to take your life.
Yes the lady is a killer,
So boy don’t you try
To take her for your wife.
She lives within the shadows.
Her heart is dark and cold.
She’ll love you for a lifetime,
But you won’t get very old.
She’ll wrap her arms around you.
She’ll hold you close and tight.
Then she’ll claim another victim
And she’ll disappear from sight.
