SECRETLY CRUEL
Gene Simmons
[Riff 1]
[Rhy. Fig 1a]
[Rhy. Fig 1b]
[Rhy. Fig 1a] (3x)
I saw my pictures hangin' on her wall
She cut it out of that magazine
It was a hot day, she wore lingerie
And nothin' else in between, ooh
She had long hair and thigh high snake skin boots
And she was all over me like a cheap suit
[Rhy. Fig 2a w/ Riff 2]
Then she bared herself, aha
And stripped my soul
[Rhy. Fig 3]
Began to shake, rattle, and roll
Then I took control, yeah
[Riff 3]
[Rhy. Fig 4a] (2x)
But I know she's secretly cruel
I ain't nobody's fool
Yeah, I know she's secretly cruel
Just when I though it was safe
She puts her lips to my face
[Rhy. Fig 4b]
She's secretly, secretly cruel
[Rhy. Fig 1a] (2x)
Well she grabbed my hair
And I began to rise
I could tell what she wanted
By that look in her eyes, oh, ow
By that look in her eyes, yeah
I said "Come here babe and make it quick"
She said "Not so fast"
And had a drink
[Rhy. Fig 2b w/ Riff 4]
Well it ain't just luck
But I better knock on wood
[Rhy. Fig 3]
She's gonna give me everything
Somehow I knew she would
[Riff 3]
[Rhy. Fig 4a] (2x)
Oh, but I know she's secretly cruel
I ain't nobody's fool
Well, I know she's secretly cruel
I said baby you're the fire, but I am the fuel
[Rhy. Fig 4b]
She's secretly, secretly cruel
Yeah, so cruel
[Solo over Rhy. Fig 1a (3x)]
[Rhy. Fig 2a w/ Riff 5]
Well it ain't just luck (ain't just luck)
But I better knock on wood, yeah
[Rhy. Fig 3]
She's gonna give me everything
Somehow I knew she would
[Riff 3]
[Rhy. Fig 4a w/ Riff 6]
Oh, but I know she's secretly cruel
I ain't nobody's fool, nobody's fool
[Rhy. Fig 4a] (repeat and fade)
Secretly, she's so cruel (cruel)
I'm in love, but I don't play the fool
Secretly, she's so cruel, secretly, so cruel
Cruel, yeah, cruel, yeah, cruel, yeah
I know she's secretly, she's so cruel, secretly, so cruel
Cruel, yeah, cruel, yeah, cruel, yeah
I know she's secretly, she's so cruel, secretly, she's so cruel
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, secretly, secretly cruel, cruel
