Cmaj7     F     Cmaj7                   F
Here she comes, you better watch your step,
Cmaj7         F                  Dm            G
she's gonna break your heart in two, yes it's true
Cmaj7                F     Cmaj7              F
It's not hard to realize, just look into her false colored eyes,
Cmaj7            F                   Dm            G
she'll bring you up just to put you down, what a clown

Chorus:
                C                     F
Cos everybody knows, she's a femme fatale
                         C                      F
The things she does to please, she's a femme fatale
                     C                      F
She's just a little tease, she's a femme fatale
                     Dm                          A#   G
Just see the way she walks and hear the way she talks.

You're written in her book
You're number thirty seven, have a look
She's going to smile to make you frown, what a clown
Little boy, she's from the street
Before you start, you're already beat
She's going to play you for a fool, yes it's true

Chorus:
'Cause everybody knows (She's a femme fatale)
The things she does to please (She's a femme fatale)
She's just a little tease (She's a femme fatale)
See the way she walks
Hear the way she talks

'Cause everybody knows (She's a femme fatale)
The things she does to please (She's a femme fatale)
She's just a little tease (She's a femme fatale)
Oh whoa whoa (She's a femme fatale)
Oh whoa whoa (She's a femme fatale)
Oh whoa whoa (She's a femme fatale)
