She Waits
This is another February song. Love it!
Snips of Sugar ]
[She Waits]
[Intro]
They say the female of the species is more deadly than the male
And you’ve got your own tales to tell
Here’s my story, sad but true
About a man I once knew
[Verse 1]
At first she was sugar and spice and everything nice
Soft in her smile, never needed advice
Honey on her tongue, yeah she spoke real sweet
Barefoot angel dancing in the heat
But there was a shadow in the way she’d stare
Like she knew a secret she just didn’t share
A little too calm when the room got loud
A little too lost when she drew a crowd
[Pre-Chorus]
You thought you found heaven in her eyes
Didn’t see the storm behind the skies
[Chorus]
They say there’s a difference
In the way the hunters play
One will come in howling
One will make you beg to stay
She don’t hunt… she just waits
Some kinds of love don’t chase
You won’t hear a sound when it breaks
She don’t hunt… she just waits
You can run but it’s too late
You were marked before the first taste
Ain’t no mercy in her grace
She don’t hunt… she just waits
[Verse 2]
I was all snips and snails and puppy dog tales
Raised on the dust and the half-told tales
Hands a little rough, heart worn thin
Didn’t know the kind of mess I was walkin’ in
I took her smile like it meant somethin’ true
Like I was the only one she ever let through
But I was just another name in her book
Another lost soul she already took
[Pre-Chorus]
You thought you could handle the flame
Now you don’t even know your name
[Chorus]
They say there’s a difference
In the way the hunters play
One will come in howling
One will make you beg to stay
She don’t hunt… she just waits
Some kinds of love don’t chase
You won’t hear a sound when it breaks
She don’t hunt… she just waits
You can run but it’s too late
You were marked before the first taste
Ain’t no mercy in her grace
She don’t hunt… she just waits
[Bridge]
She was the hunter, I was the prey
I didn’t know it until it was too late
I fell in a trap like fire to a match
One look was enough, I never went back
Every word she said, I couldn’t break away
Every silence sealed my escape
Every promise sounded like fate
Every step I took felt already made
I thought I was safe, I didn’t fret
I was already caught I just didn’t know it yet
[Final Chorus]
They say there’s a difference
In the way the hunters play
One will come in howling
One will make you beg to stay
She don’t hunt… she just waits
Some kinds of love don’t chase
You won’t hear a sound when it breaks
She don’t hunt… she just waits
You can run but it’s too late
You were marked before the first taste
Ain’t no mercy in her grace
She don’t hunt… she just waits
[Outro]
She was the hunter… I was the prey
I didn’t see it till it was too late
She don’t hunt…
She just waits…
We’ve reached the end of this tale I tell
About the vixen and this ne’er-do-well
Here’s the moral, but it’s not for the frail
The female of the species is more deadly than the male.
