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 |
