Then I had this one called “Femme Fatale,” which was with Greg Kurstin. I wo...
[Verse 1]
If you bother me I'll hiss
My claws will dig deep into your skin
My paws are the only thing I'll lick
The only thing you'll taste is my fist
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't ask me questions, I'll tell you nothing
Don't touch me, don't bug me, you're wasting time
Don't ask me questions, I'll tell you nothing
I'll put my boots on and leave you behind
[Chorus]
They call me femme fatale
All the things I'll put you through
You're able to tame the tiger, you can't tame me too
What's someone to do with a girl like me?
All I did was make you a fool
[Verse 2]
I lay in the sun and get a tan
As you crawl to my demands
Weak knees where you just can't stand
You'll never know what I might plan
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't ask me questions, I'll tell you nothing
Don't touch me, don't bug me, you're wasting time
Don't ask me questions, I'll tell you nothing
I'll put my boots on and leave you behind
[Chorus]
They call me femme fatale
All the things I'll put you through
You're able to tame the tiger, you can't tame me too
What's someone to do with a girl like me?
All I did was make you a fool
[Instrumental break]
[Chorus]
They call me femme fatale
All the things I'll put you through
You're able to tame the tiger, you can't tame me too
What's someone to do with a girl like me?
All I did was make you a fool
