You got snakeskin baby
that's why you slip and slide

lyrics

SNAKESKIN
music and lyrics © S Marquis 2002

You’ve got snakeskin baby
That’s why you slip and slide
You’ve got snakeskin baby
That’s why you slip and slide
So don’t you come round here no more
Or I’m gonna tan your hide

All the times you told me
There was only you and I
And the way you used to hold me
Now I know it was a lie
I’m not afraid to hurt you
Cos I know snakes cant even cry

And if I cut you deep
I wonder if you’d bleed
And would your blood be cold
Like the way you treated me
Well I’ve got to thinkin
Bout all those lies that I believed

And your hissin, while kissin
Was not my type
And you’d squeeze me, believe me
Way too tight
You’ve got snakeskin baby
That’s why you slip and slide
So don’t you come round here no more
Or I’m gonna tan your hide

Solos

You’ve got snakeskin baby
You’ve got snakeskin baby
You’ve got snakeskin baby

So don’t you come round here no more or I’ll turn you into a nice pair of boots
A belt to hold up my pants
And a wallet for all that cash I won’t be spending on you
