 Uptown living, living, is all she knew,

 And at her door step, door step, traps she would lay for you.

 To lead men, lead men, lead me a-stray,

 Like a vulture, vulture lurks it's prey, yeah, I say;

Verse 2

 A rose in her hair, the pretty clothes she wears,

At the passers by, she winks her eye.

Fools take up the offer, they say; stolen waters is sweet,

She has no consideration, no, that's why she lies and cheats.

In the twilight of the evening, the moon shines bright,

Bread is pleasant when eaten in secret, bosom of fire; must resist it.
