Don’t (Let) Her Trap You x4
Verse 1:
They say if you struggle/
That it helps to be humble/
But that hope ain’t enough/
When them problems keep coming/
The good ones die young and/
I’ve been treated to that/
I’ve seen defeat try to creep but it won’t reach me like that/
They like to shoot your wings off/
Before you take your flight/
But my wheels don’t stop moving/
So I’m skating tonight
Won’t be chased by the plight/
Or be tamed by the hustle/
Most often people hate/
Because the haters love you
And they would just love to/
Be up in your position/
They need to fill their void with you cause their life has gone missing/
I can’t fall for temptation/
My love for life’s not proven/
She breaks even the strongest/
And I’ve seen her seduce ‘em/
So they call her a bitch/
But still they fall in love/
And they can’t get enough/
She is the anti-drug/
What they did to deserve her/
Has yet to be seen/
She’s so ugly inside/
Just like a beauty queen
~ Chorus ~
Welcome to the nightlife/where the good turn bad and the bad gets a whole lot worse
Welcome to the nightlife/where it takes one stroke just to get you hooked on the curse
Welcome to the nightlife/where a glare from the lights is enough to forget what is right
Welcome to the nightlife/where a kiss from this girl is enough to destroy your world
Verse 2:
She does her evil deeds/
Spewing her hate and venom/
But expect nothing less/
From this dangerous woman
She walks with a switch/
(With) her hand on her hips/
(Got) her taste in your mouth/
(And) her tongue on your lips
And on your fingertips/
Is the touch of the night/
It’s the charm of her smile/
The attention is nice
Now the flavor is ripe/
And you’ve taken your sample/
But that’s more than enough/
You’ve had all you can handle
But the damage is done/
There is no turning back/
Look how far we have come/
She is all that we lack/
She gives us everything/
Forever is better when fawning/
She looks over our flaws/
As long as we can keep ‘em coming/
She is poison by nature/
A toxic symbol of worship/
So everything that we’ve been through/
Shouldn’t seem like it’s worth it/
It’s the Woman we love/
or is it The Night?/
or is it The City?/
or is it The Life?
~ Bridge ~
~ Chorus ~
Welcome to the nightlife/where the good turn bad and the bad gets a whole lot worse
Welcome to the nightlife/where it takes one stroke just to get you hooked on the curse
Welcome to the nightlife/where a glare from the lights is enough to forget what is right
Welcome to the nightlife/where a kiss from this girl is enough to destroy your world
