She got them eagle feathers and cocaine eyes
She got the heat to make a dead man rise
A rose in her hair, a devil may care attitude
She never said she would stay by my side
She only wanted to be there for the ride
A bottle of wine, a couple of lines and she was there for the night

Tried to change her ways
I said I'd keep her in a golden cage
She said, "Oh no this ain't no place for me"

Angel of mercy, angel of greed
Never stop till she get what she need
She dance like Salome and curses with a Matelot tongue
I said baby won't you slow down for me
You got to move if you want to be free
Like the wind I'm just blowing anywhere I please

Tried to change her ways
I said I'd keep her in a golden cage
She said, "Oh no, this ain't no place for me"

Lady, you're no lady, you're my woman
Got the love I need, you are my woman
Never change her ways
Never keep her in a golden cage
'Cause she say, "Oh no, this ain't no place for me"

Tried to change her ways
I said I'd keep her in a golden cage
She said: "Oh no, this ain't no place for me"

Lady, you're no lady, you're my woman
Got the love I need, you are my woman
Never change her ways
Never keep her in a golden cage
'Cause she say, "Oh no, this ain't no place for me"
'Cause she say, "Oh no, this ain't no place for me"

You might as well set me free
