  • 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 Writer/s: MICHAEL ROSE
