Lyrics

She Belongs to Me

[Verse 1]

She's got everything she needs

She's an artist, she don't look back

She's got everything she needs

She's an artist, she don't look back

She takes the dark out of the nighttime

And paints the daytime black

You will start out standing, proud to steal her anything she sees

You will start out standing, proud to steal her anything she sees

You'll wind up peeking through a key hole, down upon your bended knees

[Instrumental break]

[Verse 2]

She never stumbles, she's got no place to fall

She never stumbles, she's got no place to fall

She's nobody's child, the law can't touch her at all

[Instrumental break]

[Verse 3]

Bow down to her on Sunday, salute her when her birthday comes

Bow down to her on Sunday, salute her when her birthday comes

For Halloween, buy her a trumpet, Christmas, get her these drums

[Instrumental break]

[Verse 1 repeated]

She's got everything she needs

She's an artist, she don't look back

She's got everything she needs

She's an artist, she don't look back

She takes the dark out of the nighttime

Paints the daytime black

Oh, she takes the dark out of the nighttime

And paints the daytime black
