Femme Fatale
King Princess Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ohh
Here she comes
You better watch your step
She′s gonna break your heart in two, it's true
It′s not hard to realize
Just look into her false colored eyes
She'll build you up just to bring you down
What a clown

'Cause everybody knows
What she does to please
She′s such a little tease
You see the way she walks
And even when she talks
Ohh

You′re put down in her book
You're number thirty seven, have a look
She′s gonna smile just to make you frown
What a clown
She's from the street
Before you start, you′re already beat
She's gonna play you for a fool
Yes, it′s true

So, everybody knows
What she does to please
She's such a little tease
You see the way she walks
You hear the way she talks

Ohh, she's a femme fatale
She′s a femme fatale, ohh
She′s a femme fatale
She's a femme fatale
She′s a femme fatale
She's a femme fatale




She′s a femme fatale
She's a femme fatale, ohh

Overall Meaning

King Princess's song "Femme Fatale" is a cover of the classic Velvet Underground song of the same name.

The lyrics paint a picture of a manipulative woman who uses her beauty and charm to get what she wants, leaving a trail of heartbroken men in her wake.


The first verse sets the scene as the femme fatale approaches and warns the man to "watch your step." The second verse gives a clear description of the femme fatale's tactics, using her false colored eyes and charming mannerisms to lure men in before ultimately breaking their hearts. The chorus repeats the phrase "she's a femme fatale," almost as a warning to listeners to beware of such dangerous women.
