[Verse]
Em I'll be the late night lady you won't recognise
I'm a chameleon I'm always in disguise
I'd read your future but it's written in the past
Take a good look might be your last
[Pre-Chorus]
C Don't try to show Amme
Cause you don't know Cme
Stay aAmway
[Chorus]
E I can be Awilder than the Gwind
1C19 miles an Ehour
I'm in a Awhole other diGmension
Dancing Cdoubles on the Efloor
You think I'm Acrazy, a little bit Ghazy
But I'm Cstone cold soberEm
[Verse]
Em You're telling me something
But there's nothing cheap as words
I'm walking away before I do affect the birds
Excuse me mister I've got other things to do
Than to stand here listening to you
[Pre-Chorus]
C Stop talking at my Amface
Take a rocket out to Cspace
And stay aAmway
[Chorus]
E I can be Awilder than the Gwind
1C19 miles an Ehour
I'm in a Awhole other diGmension
Dancing Cdoubles on the Efloor
You think I'm Acrazy, a little bit Ghazy
But I'm Cstone cold
