Secretly Cruel

(album: Asylum - 1985)

I saw my pictures hanging on her wall
She cut it out of that magazine
It was a hot day, she wore lingerie
And nothing else in between, ooh
She had long hair and thigh high snake skin boots
And she was all over me like a cheap suit

Then she bared herself, aha
And stripped my soul
Began to shake, rattle, and roll
Then I took control, yeah

But I know she's secretly cruel
I ain't nobody's fool
Yeah, I know she's secretly cruel
Just when I though it was safe
She puts her lips to my face
She's secretly, secretly cruel

Well she grabbed my hair
And I began to rise
I could tell what she wanted
By that look in her eyes, oh, ow
By that look in her eyes, yeah
I said "Come here babe and make it quick"
She said "Not so fast"
And had a drink

Well it ain't just luck
But I better knock on wood
She's gonna give me everything
Somehow I knew she would

Oh, but I know she's secretly cruel
I ain't nobody's fool
Well, I know she's secretly cruel
I said baby you're the fire, but I am the fuel
She's secretly, secretly cruel
Yeah, so cruel

Well it ain't just luck (ain't just luck)
But I better knock on wood, yeah
She's gonna give me everything
Somehow I knew she would

Oh, but I know she's secretly cruel
I ain't nobody's fool, nobody's fool
Secretly, she's so cruel (cruel)
I'm in love, but I don't play the fool
Secretly, she's so cruel, secretly, so cruel
Cruel, yeah, cruel, yeah, cruel, yeah
I know she's secretly, she's so cruel, secretly, so cruel
Cruel, yeah, cruel, yeah, cruel, yeah
I know she's secretly, she's so cruel, secretly, she's so cruel
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, secretly, secretly cruel, cruel
