about

So I always loved women who drifted toward the edge...you know what I mean? It sure is exciting as you're falling off that cliff!!!

lyrics

Got the Drop

Well you’re not that pretty, you’re not that smart
But somehow you had the power to stop my heart
It’s true, but that’s what you do
Well I should’ve known better than to take that bait
But an hour in your power and it was much too late
For me to beat a fast retreat

Honey you got the drop on me
Baby you got me so damn snow-blind
That I can’t see
Are you still living it up
Or giving it up
For me?

You move like a whisper in a smoky room
You’re one part glitter and one part gloom
But you’re cool and you run me through
Yeah you drive that dagger deep into my heart
And bleed all the need out of every part of me too
‘Cause that’s what you do

(Chorus)

And I don’t know what to do
‘Cause I see you backed up to that wall
With some dude I never knew
And I’m so confused
‘Cause I thought you were my better half
But I can’t help feeling used
When he whispers something in your ear
And you turn your head, look over here
Take a long drag and blow some dirty smoke my way
And laugh

(Chorus)
