Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Got your money on the table And the devil in your eye Who is that woman with the crooked smile? You got to go with what you feel A little loving is a dangerous thing Black is the ocean a burning sky Her nature's wild hard to beat the right stuff It's mountain high river deep the right stuff Got your pearls on a string And your skin's so bare Over your shoulder there's a world out there You got the nerve you gonna win Boy you're playing with a dangerous thing So it goes without saying She's the queen of the Nile Lion woman with the crooked smile You got the nerve who's gonna win? Boy you're playing with a dangerous thing Send me the woman on a bended knee Emerald eyes in desert heat She's mountain high river deep the right stuff Send me the woman to fight for me nature's wild hard to beat She's mountain high river deep the right stuff
