I hear you're
getting up to your old tricks
It seems you're never gonna learn
You keep putting your hand in the fire,
babe
You're gonna get your fingers burned
I don't believe you ever cared for me
The way you tried to run my life
We're nothing but a good
or bad system
Crawling on the edge of a knife
You come on like a fever
You said I'm never gonna leave
You're the life that broke
But baby, something ain't right
You steal my lovin' like
a thief in the night
Now you're caught between
the vermin and the beast
Oh, that's the nature of
the beast
You've been sneakin'
around like an attic cat
Tell me is it money or love?
And all those things you've
been sayin' to me
That is clear as
Mississippi mud
You wouldn't take a million dollars
You wouldn't take a diamond ring
Think that's the way you
can get me back
Well, babe, you better think again
I said I'd treat you like a princess
But now you're losing my interest
The lines have grown between
the black and the white
I stand up to you,
but it ain't worth the fight
Moving closer,
but I'm still out of reach
That's the nature of the
beast
The lights have drawn, but baby,
something ain't right
You steal my lovin' like
a thief in the night
Now you're caught between the
famine and the feast, oh yeah
The time has come and now
you better see the light
I'd stand up to you,
but it ain't worth the fight
You're movin' in closer
but I'm still out of reach
Oh, but that's the
nature of the beast
Beast
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
That's the nature
That's the nature
That's the nature of the beast
Yes, come on and getcha baby
Yeah
That's the nature
Yeah, the nature of the beast
you
