Black Widow

Black Widow

she's been known as the Black Widow since she was fifteen

ruthless, bold and mean

with vengeance she preys on man

building her a place to stand

where no man can ever reach her again

staying in control is the only way to win

she weaves her web of love, laced with hate

there you lie, waiting for your fate

she's beautiful, charming and catches every man's eyes

with a look that will paralyze

you into doing her bidding

and if you think you can out do her, your kidding

if you ever find yourself in her web of love

looking up at her high above

don't try to stand beside her

I know, I've been bitten by the Black Widow spider

Epilog

I know I wasn't your intended prey

but I got caught in your web anyway

you tried to set me free

but you found you needed me

there is no other fate

when your the Black widow's mate

I've already been bitten

that's the way nature's law is written

Black Widows don't cry

just KISS me and say good-bye
