大橋純子 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
噂どおりだわ
彼女は マネキンDoll
みんなが言ってる だから
ねえ、目を覚まして ささやきに負けないで
ホラ、悪魔達の笑い声が聞こえてくるわ
ブルーの瞳も 白い肌も みんな媚薬になる Black widow
この頃無口なのね
どこかおかしいわ
彼女に会ってたのね
妖しい香りにむせて
もう、昼も夜も 心はカラッポで
今、男達は魂をうばわれてしまう
She’s a foxy lady 赤い爪で未来を決めてゆくの
短すぎる ドレスの下 ヒールが武器になる Black widow
心の隙間なら 私が埋めてあげる そして
この胸で暖めてあげる
She’s a foxy lady, She’s a sexy lady 名前は誰も知らない
どこから来て どこへ行くの なぞが渦まいている
She’s a foxy lady, She’s a sexy lady 少しハスキーな声
何を求め 何をするの 微笑みが知っている
She’s a foxy lady, She’s a sexy lady
She’s a foxy lady, She’s a sexy lady
She’s a foxy lady, She’s a sexy lady
