Lyrics: The Right Stuff
Album: Bete Noire
Artist: Bryan Ferry
 

(ferry / marr)

Got your money on the table
And the devil in your eye
Who is that woman with the crooked smile?
You got to go with what you feel
A little loving is a dangerous thing
Black is the ocean – a burning sky
Her nature’s wild – hard to beat the right stuff
It´s mountain high – river deep the right stuff
Got your pearls on a string
And your skin’s so bare
Over your shoulder there´s a world out there
You got the nerve – you gonna win
Boy you´re playing with a dangerous thing
So it goes without saying
She´s the queen of the nile
Lion woman with the crooked smile
You got the nerve – who´s gonna win?
Boy you´re playing with a dangerous thing
Send me the woman on a bended knee
Emerald eyes in desert heat
She´s mountain high – river deep the right stuff
Send me the woman to fight for me nature’s wild – hard to beat
She´s mountain high – river deep the right stuff
