lyrics

Don’t Get to Close to Her
© 2021 Colleen Messina & Early Times

She’s small & and feisty and comes from the street
She’s rough around the edges but can be really sweet.
She makes you laugh when she runs away
Cause her claws can’t catch when she trys to escape

She wears white gloves and go-go boots
If she wasn’t fixed she’d be a prostitute
Cause her big black eyes hypnotize
She has a way with all the handsome guys

CHORUS:
Don’t get too close to her
If you make your move go slow, and you won’t get hurt
Don’t get too close to her
You’ll want to make her purr, but don’t get too close to her

She’ll chase the other girls away from the bar,
She’s ready to pounce, ready to spar
She doesn’t care if she has to scratch
She’s not concerned about the aftermath

She leaves her mark when she exits a room,
She doesn’t cover up her business with cheap perfume
She ends up in bed with a gentleman
Climbs up on his chest when they start a sleepin’

CHORUS

BRIDGE:
You can see it in her eyes
She’ll want to play with you
But when she’s finished fishing
She’ll take a swipe at you

She’ll greet you at the door if you have a treat
She’ll rub against your body if you talk really sweet
She captivates you with her charm
You want to take her in your arms

She’s a wild one, but her is love pure
She’d follow you to war if she were a girl
But she’s a one-foot tall diplomat
She’s a cute and fluffy pussycat

CHORUS
