Lyrics

Changes, that's what you put me through Slipping and sliding Creeping and hiding You better beware of the Snake in the grass (beware) He will surely bite (he will surely bite you) I'm talking about the Snake in the grass He will surely bite you (Better watch yourself, better watch yourself) Watch yourself Adam and Eve first discovered How low down the snake could be Well he enticed them to taste the apple Well, well, well From the forbidden fruit tree And ever since that time they've come In every shape fashion and form Seemingly harmless, yet their souls are possessed With evil intentions and harm I'm talking about the Snake in the grass (He might be out there) He will surely bite you (Better watch yourself, better watch yourself) I'm talking about the Snake in the grass (ooh he's evil) He will surely bite you (Better watch yourself, better watch yourself) Watch yourself You see I found out about my friend And how low down dirty he could be, well, well I gave him all of my trust, yes I did But you know he mislead me He tried to take everything That I own right from under my feet, yes he did Tried to make time with that woman of mine He turned out to be a snake in a man's disguise Snake in the grass (ooh he's evil) He will surely bite you (Better watch yourself, better watch yourself) I'm talking about the Snake in the grass He will surely bite you (better watch yourself) Watch yourself It's a shame It's a shame It's a shame One more thing I would like to say is He tried to take everything that I owned right from Under my feet, lord he did Tried to make time with that woman of mine He turned out to be snake in a man's disguise Snake in the grass (ooh he's evil) He will surely bite you (Better watch yourself, better watch yourself, better watch yourself) Talking about the Snake in the grass (he's all around you) He will surely bite you (Better watch yourself, better watch yourself) Watch yourself Talking about the snake in the grass I'm talking about the snake in the grass I'm talking about the Snake in the grass (he's out there) He will surely bite you (Got to watch yourself,got to watch yourself) And I want to Talking to about the Snake in the grass (ooh he's evil) He will surely bite you (Hiding, sneaking hiding, sneaking all around you) Watch yourself I'm talking about the Snake in the grass (yes) He will surely bite you (Better watch yourself, better watch yourself, better watch yourself) Talking about the Snake in the grass He will surely bite you You better, you better (Watch yourself) You better, you better (Watch yourself) You better, you better Watch out for the Snake in the grass Watch out for the snake in the grass Watch out because he's moving mighty fast now Watch out for the snake in the grass I can promise, don't let him fool you Watch out for the snake in the grass Because he's moving so, moving so fast (moving so fast) You better watch out (watch out) You can't judge a book by the cover Watch out (watch out) It might be your soul-blood brother Watch out (watch out) Hey, snakes have been around for a long long time So watch out (watch out) Ooh, don't be surprised what you might find out Snake in the grass (ooh he's evil) He will surely bite you (Slipping, weaving all around you, crawling all around you) You better Snake in the grass He will surely bite you Snake in the grass He will surely bite you Watch yourself Snake in the grass He will surely bite you
