Cool, Hard and Shady
There's something in her eyes
that makes me want to live,
but she took all that I have.
Now, there's nothing left to give.
​
She has me on her leash
just like any other pet,
dangling puppet on a string,
and she won't let me forget.
​
Hard lady, she's shady;
she knows just what to do.
Cool baby, say maybe,
and I'd do anything for you.
​
So, I walk in her shadow,
where the sun never shines,
and I drink in her beauty,
intoxicating wines.
​
I think I am entranced
or enchanted by her lies.
'Though I'm under her control,
I know love is her disguise.
​
Hard lady, she's shady;
she knows just what to do.
Cool baby, say maybe,
and I'd do anything for you.
