Toss your hair back and forth
Stir up a hurricane
Paint your lips bloody red
Drive the men insane
Take advantage of what you got
Consider it God's gift
Just so you know who comes first
Never get short shrift
All this brutal beauty
It's such a shame
It’s a doggone shame
All your life you had a dream
Wanted to obtain
Had no doubts, no not a single one
Never had to feign
You took a path, the choice was clear
No prisoners got took
You did just what you had to do
Didn't care if you got forsook
You will never ever know defeat
You will never ever know retreat
You will never ever feel the pinch
You will never change a single inch
A change of heart is possible
But not when it comes to you
You remain cold and sharp
They're all a bunch of bums to you
What would it take to shift your mind
See from another point of view
That would be too much to ask
And that would not be you
