Snake in the Grass |
| Changes, that’s what you put me through |
| Slipping and sliding |
| Creeping and hiding |
| You better beware of the |
| Snake in the grass (beware) |
| He will surely bite (he will surely bite you) |
| I’m talking about the |
| Snake in the grass |
| He will surely bite you |
| (Better watch yourself better watch yourself) |
| Watch yourself |
| Adam and Eve first discovered |
| How low down the snake could be |
| Well he enticed them to taste the apple |
| Well, well, well |
| From the forbidden fruit tree |
| And ever since that time they’ve come |
| In every shape fashion and form |
| Seemingly harmless, yet their souls are possessed |
| With evil intentions and harm |
| I’m talking about the |
| Snake in the grass (He might be out there) |
| He will surely bite you s |
| (Better watch yourself better watch yourself) |
| I’m talking about the |
| Snake in the grass (ooh he’s evil) |
| He will surely bite you |
| (Better watch yourself better watch yourself) |
| Watch yourself |
| You see I found out about my friend |
| And how low down dirty he could be, well, well |
| I gave him all of my trust, yes I did |
| But you know he mislead me |
| He tried to take everything |
| That I own right from under my feet, yes he did |
| Tried to make time with that woman of mine |
| He turned out to be a snake in a man’s disguise |
| Snake in the grass (ooh he’s evil) |
| He will surely bite you |
| (Better watch yourself better watch yourself) |
| I’m talking about the |
| Snake in the grass |
| He will surely bite you (better watch yourself) |
| Watch yourself |
| It’s a shame |
| It’s a shame |
| It’s a shame |
| One more thing I would like to say is |
| He tried to take everything that I owned right from |
| Under my feet, lord he did |
| Tried to make time with that woman of mine |
| He turned out to be snake in a man’s disguise |
| Snake in the grass (ooh he’s evil) |
| He will surely bite you |
| (Better watch yourself better watch yourself, |
| Better watch yourself) |
| Talking about the |
| Snake in the grass (he's all around you) |
| He will surely bite you |
| (Better watch yourself better watch yourself) |
| Watch yourself |
| Talking about the snake in the grass |
| I’m talking about the snake in the grass |
| I’m talking about the |
| Snake in the grass (he's out there) |
| He will surely bite you |
| (Got to watch yourself got to watch yourself) |
| I’m talking about the |
| Snake in the grass (ooh he’s evil) |
| He will surely bite you |
| (Hiding, sneaking hiding, sneaking all around you) |
| Watch yourself |
| I’m talking about the |
| Snake in the grass (yes) |
| He will surely bite you (better watch yourself, |
| Better watch yourself, better watch yourself) |
| Talking about the |
| Snake in the grass |
| He will surely bite you |
| You better, you better |
| (Watch yourself) |
| You better, you better |
| (Watch yourself) |
| Watch out for the |
| Snake in the grass |
| Watch out for the snake in the grass |
| Watch out because he’s moving mighty fast now |
| Watch out for the snake in the grass |
| I can promise, don’t let him fool you |
| Watch out for the snake in the grass |
| Because he’s moving so, moving so fast |
| You better watch out (watch out) |
| You can’t judge a book by the cover |
| Watch out (watch out) |
| It might be your soul-blood brother |
| Watch out (watch out) |
| Hey, snakes have been around for a long long time |
| So watch out (watch out) |
| Ooh, don’t be surprised what you might find out |
| Snake in the grass (ooh he’s evil) |
| He will surely bite you (slipping, weaving all |
| Around you, crawling all around you) |
| Snake in the grass |
| He will surely bite you |
| Snake in the grass |
| He will surely bite you |
| Watch yourself |
| Snake in the grass |
| He will surely bite you |
