[Intro]
            

[Verse 1]
            
She can kill w

She can wound

 of herself
          
   She can wai

Oh,           

         
and she never

She will promi

      
se you more

Then she'll ca

ou
         
And laugh whil

in'
            
But she'll bri

She is frequen

She can do as

She's nobody's

   
 fool
            
But she can't

She's earned h

And the most s

Is throw shado
