Snakes In The Grass

Listen here, my darlin', my dear

There are some things you need to hear

Right from the mouth

The victim's mouth

Love is a torment by definition

Like a last cigarette

Always leaves you wishin' he was 'round, 'round, 'round

And there are snakes in the grass at night

Much quicker than you or I

And giving hearts always trust those who lie

And there are snakes in the grass at night

I told my mother's mother and she told her too

That I wouldn't fall for him

And what did I do? I fell down, down, down

And there are snakes in the grass at night

Much quicker than you or I

And giving hearts always trust those who lie

And there are snakes in the grass at night

Give it up, girl, let it go

He ain't changin', no, no, no

Give it up, girl, let it go

He ain't changin', don't you know?

There's snakes in the grass at night

Much quicker than you or I

And giving hearts always trust those who lie

And there are snakes in the grass at night

Much quicker than you or I

And giving hearts always trust those who lie

And there are snakes in the grass at night
