lyrics

She's not your friend.
She'll break you 'til the end
And take your cold, cold comforts and slowly turn them to ice.
Break your spirit down, pretend she's sugar and spice.

She says "Shut up your mouth. Take that smile off your face.
Now honey this ain't the time,
This ain't the time or the place"
Her golden rule is to guide your action
And the secret behind her success is her talent for abstraction.

She's so smooth you better be careful 'cos you can't tell
She'll bring your body to heaven but she'll send your mind to hell.
She's so smooth get up from where you fell
All her tricks get easier she knows you all too well.
She's so smooth but I don't like her way
There's something strange about her and it's in the things she says
Cos she's so smooth, yeah.

She's not your friend.
She's drain you 'til the end
And she'll revert to a trick that she learned years ago,
Same response when you let your feelings show;

She says "Shut up your mouth. Take that smile off your face.
Now honey this ain't the time,
Well this ain't the time or the place"
Her one sole aim is to make you look a fool,
So take heed of my advice and remember her golden rule cos

She's so smooth you better be careful 'cos you can't tell
She'll bring your body to heaven but she'll send your mind to hell.
She's so smooth get up from where you fell
All her tricks get easier she knows you all too well.
She's so smooth but I don't like her way
There's something strange about her and it's in the things she says
Cos she's so smooth, yeah.
