Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Walkin' down the street, you're the center of my universe
You got the world in your pocket, my manhood left in your purse
You ain't a bad girl, honey, no matter what the neighbors say
It's just you wear those skin-tight dresses with your G-string tuned to A
[Verse 2]
Sweet, sweet, child of the street
[Verse 3]
Heaven sent, you're an angel dressed in black
Cool stiletto strut, you're a drop jaw cardiac
You're the genuine feline, prettiest girl I've ever seen
With your thief of hearts smile, you're a certified pleasure machine
[Verse 4]
Sweet, sweet, child of the street
Dressed to kill in diamonds and fur
Get what you want with your pussycat purr
[Verse 5]
(But the kittens got claws) She'll tear your heart out
(Kittens got claws) She'll scratch your back
(Kittens got claws) She'll tease and please ya
(Kittens got claws) She's a heart attack
[Verse 6]
Treat me good, sometimes you treat me bad
But keep it up, honey, you're the best time I've ever had
No matter what you put me through, I must confess
Ooh, you got more style than a brand new XJS
[Verse 7]
Sweet, sweet, child of the street
Dressed to kill in diamonds and fur
Get what you want with your pussycat purr
[Verse 8]
(But the kittens got claws) She'll tear your heart out
(Kittens got claws) She'll scratch your back
(Kittens got claws) She'll tease and please ya
(Kittens got claws) She's a heart attack
[Verse 9]
Just a, a-heat it up, baby
Heat it up, heat it up
[Verse 10]
Walkin' down the street, you're the center of my universe
You got the world in your pocket, my manhood left in your purse
I know you ain't a bad girl, honey, no matter what the neighbors say
It's just you wear those skin-tight dresses with your G-string tuned to A
[Verse 11]
Sweet, sweet, child of the street
Dressed to kill in diamonds and fur
You get what you want with your pussycat purr
[Verse 12]
(But the kittens got claws) She'll tear your heart out
(Kittens got claws) She'll scratch your back
(Kittens got claws) She'll tease and please ya
(Kittens got claws) She'll blow your stack
[Verse 13]
(Kittens got claws) She'll tear your heart out
(Kittens got claws) She'll scratch your back
(Kittens got claws) She'll tease and please ya
(Kittens got claws) She's a heart attack
[Verse 14]
You scratch my back, baby, and I'll scratch yours
