She got them eagle feathers 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 coupla lines
An' 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 'til she get what she need
She dance like Salome
An' curses with a matelot tongue
I said baby won't you slow down for me
You got to move, if you wanna be free
Like the wind I'm just blowin' 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
Cos' she say: 'Oh no, this ain't no place for me'

Lady, You're no lady
You're a woman
I got the love you need
You're a woman
You'll never change my ways
You'll never keep me in golden cage
Cos' I say 'Oh no this ain't no place for me
