Lyrics
Vs 1
Looking for a quick fix down in the snake pit,
Kicking up the dirt with my heels.
I don't do romance, I take my chance, I do my own deals.
A soldier of love that's seen many battles,
Some you win, some you lose.
A woman on a mission don't need your permission
She's paid her own dues.
Vs 2
Where's the world at for a super cool cat?
Where can you go to get clean?
I don't like liars or luke-warm fires, I like my man mean
A woman in love has plenty to lose.
Some - times she just doesn't see
But there's a time and place for a pretty face
For chasing the blues
Chorus
Oh you snake! Go on and break my heart if you must.
O how I ache for you to take me (stop) somewhere alone
Tonight let's dance, for romance, let's take a chance
We won't be leaving alone. Oh no no!
Don't you know, we got love to - night.
