She only comes out at night
The lean and hungry type
Oh, nothing is new
I seen her here before
Watchin' and waitin'
She's sittin' with you
But her eyes are on the door
So many have paid to see
What you think you're gettin' for free
Woman is wild
A she-cat tamed by the purr of a jaguar
Money's the matter
If you're in it for love
Ain't gonna get too far, no

Woah, here she comes
