Lyrics

Listen to a sample of this song here: (Strutter)
Written by: Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons

I know a thing or two about her
I know she'll only make you cry
She'll let you walk the street beside her
But when she wants she'll pass you by
Everybody says she's lookin' good
And the lady knows it's understood
Strutter
She wears her satins like a lady
She gets her way just like a child
You take her home and she says maybe, baby
She takes you down and drives you wild
Everybody says she's lookin' good
And the lady knows it's understood
Strutter
I know a thing or two about her
I know she'll only make you cry
She'll let you walk the street beside her
But when she wants, she'll pass you by
Everybody says she's lookin' good
And the lady knows it's understood
Strutter
Strutter
Strutter
