Lioness Songtext
von Daughtry

You′re tickin' like a time bomb
Fit to blow up everything
Sooner or later, babe
You′re gonna come for me

Once upon a time
Was the only thing to ease your pain
Somewhere along the way
You got over me

And I saw you change into a lioness
A beast in the wild, unbridled
I could see it in your eyes
You could've eaten me alive
Just to show me you could

A hunter on the prowl
My feral queen, my everything
Sooner or later, babe
You'll have your way with me


And I shake and feel the nerves
Guess that I′ll get what I deserve
′Cause I couldn't let it go (I couldn′t let it go)
Yeah, I know better now (I know better)

Yeah, 'cause I saw you change into a lioness
A beast in the wild, unbridled
I could see it in your eyes
You could′ve eaten me alive

Yeah, I saw you change into a goddess
Holy divine in your power
I could hear it in your cry
You could've cut me down to size
Just to show me you could
Show me you could
Show me you could

And I won′t forget the way that you looked at me
I won't forget the way that you shook
Straight rattled my bones
Won't forget how you showed me your mercy (your mercy)
And I won′t forget the way that you looked at me (and I shake and feel the nerves)
I won′t forget the way that you shook (guess that I'll get what I deserve)
Straight rattled my bones (guess that I′ll get what I deserve)
Won't forget how you showed me your mercy (′cause I couldn't let it go)


′Cause I saw you change into a lioness
A beast in the wild, unbridled
I could see it in your eyes
You could've eaten me alive
