lyrics

Bad weather's creepin' in
I can feel it in my bones
I'd lay me down to sleep
But I ain't got no home
Been high for days
So everything feels alright
Then I come on down to the ground
Where she's got me in her sights

I got one mean woman after me
Out in the Midwest
She's got friends around town
So I do my best
To lay low, keep my head down
Fade in to the shadows
But a woman always know how to spot a man
When he's feelin' low

Every time I turn around, she's lookin' for me
Lurkin' behind corners I can't see
She's got eyes like knives and I ain't got nowhere to hide
And she's movin' in to eat me alive
And I say, please, aw pretty mama, please

She's rippin' off my skin
I'm feelin' the heat
I try to find her where
Our senses meet
But she don't give a damn
About makin' a connection
She just knows how to use a man
When she needs some attention

Every time I turn around, she's lookin' for me
Lurkin' behind corners I can't see
She's got eyes like knives and I ain't got nowhere to hide
And she's movin' in to eat me alive
And I say, please, aw pretty mama, please

Mornin' after blues
Got me feelin' like a dog
Tail between my legs
Sittin' round like a bump upon a log
So I go downtown where the lights are low
And order me a cheap whiskey
And what do you know, this pretty little thing
Sits down right next to me

Every time I turn around, she's lookin' for me
Lurkin' behind corners I can't see
She's got eyes like knives and I ain't got nowhere to hide
And she's movin' in to eat me alive
And I say, please, aw pretty mama, please
