Lyrics
They call me the vulture 'cause that's my name
I fly high, around the town, looking for game
Any girl who's lost her man, I'm by her side, as fast as i can
And i tell her things that she wants to hear, I'm an evil man
Oh-oh oh-oh, oh I'm a vulture
Oh woah, I'm a vulture
I say, now that it's over whatchu gonna do
I'm so sad that you're on your own
And your heart is a shelter
That man is gone and he's gone for good
He's gone and he's never comin' back
And the love that you had that was beautiful
But it's dead, and that is a fact
If you're looking for consolation you don't have to look no more
And i fold my wings around the girl, I've made it for sure
Oh woah I'm a vulture
Oh woah woah, I'm a vulture
When i fly into town the word gets around
The vulture's here you'd better tie your baby down
Take your girl for a drink, take her out for something to eat
Leave her just for a little while, take a nature retreat
By the time, I've made it back, I've got a name, address and a date
And you can see by the far away look in her eyes
That you've made it there much too late
Oh woah oh, I'm a vulture
Oh woah woah, I'm a vulture
Oh-oh
Vulture's got class, vulture's got style
Vulture can heal her, with a look or a smile
Vulture's in town, so you'd better beware
Married or single, i just don't care
Oh-oh woah, I'm a vulture
Oh woah woah, I'm a vulture
Uh oh uh oh
Woah
Yeah, I'm a vulture
