Lyrics:
Here she comes
Better watch your step
She's gonna break your heart in two
Girl it's true
It's not hard to realize
Into her false-colored eyes
She'll build you up
Just to put you down
What a clown

'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

Your number's written in her book
You're number 37, have a look
She's going to smile just to make you frown
What a clown
Little boy, she's from the street
Before you start, you're already beat
She is 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
