Somewhere right between a saint and a sinner lies a woman with a wayward tongue She’ll take your wallet when you lean in to kiss her but you won’t miss your money when she’s gone You never thought you’d be the prey for the hunter So sure you had a prayer when she walked by, but now you’re lying face first in the gutter when all you had to do was say goodbye
Lock up your doors and pull the shades Don’t let no harlot dig your grave The road to ruin woman lies in wait So boy, don’t think you’re gonna’ get away You won’t get away
I thought your mama taught ya’ so much better than to lurk around the twilight gals They lead ya’ willing like an ox to the slaughter and leave you on the dirty side of town
You never thought you’d be the bird in the tangle So sure you’d catch her in a blinking eye Your mama must’ve fed a fool at her table cause now you’re just hungry for her lies
Lock up your doors and pull the shades Don’t let no harlot dig your grave The road to ruin woman lies in wait So boy, don’t think you’re gonna’ get away You won’t get away She’ll drag you down to ruin That is all you’re ever gonna’ find with her kind You know she’ll drag you down to ruin That is all you’re ever gonna’ find lock up your doors and pull the shades don’t let no harlot dig your grave the road to ruin woman lies in wait so boy, don’t think you’re gonna’ get away you won’t get away
