Mistreater

(album: Once Bitten... - 1987)

Something about the way she walks
The way she wears her hair
Something about the way she talks
She makes her meaning clear
Animal grace, the angel face
She gets it all for free

You'll be sorry, believe it
She used to put that on for me
Fire's in her eyes but eyes can lie
Blinded by the light of the stars

She's a mean mistreater, and you just can't leave her alone
She's a mean mistreater, no, you can't leave it alone
She's a mean mistreater

We came to town in seventy five
From somewhere way back east
Whole lot more to staying alive
Than they tell you about down on main street
Took our place, lost in space
Two more dreamers in town

You know the story, believe it
And now she chooses cold company
Fire's in her eyes but her eyes lie
Listen, mister, take it from me

She's a mean mistreater, and you just can't leave her alone
She's a mean mistreater, no, you can't leave it alone
She's a mean mistreater, and you just can't leave her alone
She's a mean mistreater, no, you can't leave it alone
She's a mean mistreater

Fire's in her eyes but her eyes lie
Listen, mister, take it from me

She's a mistreater she's going to treat you so bad
She's a mistreater
She's a mean mistreater, no, you can't leave it alone
A stone trick teaser, no, you can't leave it alone
She's a mean mistreater, no you can't leave it alone
She's a mean mistreater, now she's got to leave it at home
