Charm the Snake
guitar chords lyrics
(Christopher Cross/Michael Omartian)
You gotta be smart
You gotta be cool
You gotta keep a straight face
When you're playin' the fool
You gotta wear a smile
When you're breakin' the rules
You gotta charm that snake now, baby
You gotta be smooth
You gotta be quick
I think it might just help
To be a little bit sick
You know the bite can't cut you
If the skin is thick
Charm that snake now, baby
You know the bite can't cut you
If the skin is thick
Charm that snake now, baby
Hey, we ain't all good lookin'
There ain't no reason
To take a good lickin'
The clock on the wall
Gonna keep on tickin'
Charm that snake now, baby
Charm that snake now, baby
Whoa, oh, oh
Don't let go of it
Don't let go
Whoa, oh, oh
Gotta charm that snake
Charm that snake
One stripe, two stripes
What does it mean
The venom is lethal
But the meat is clean
The best take advantage of you like a machine
You gotta charm that snake now, maybe
Don't let the fingernails
Under the heart
If they get a good grip
They're gonna rip it apart
The first and last kisses
Are the dangerous part
You gotta charm that snake now, baby
Charm that snake now, baby
Whoa, oh, oh
Don't let go of it
Don't let go
Whoa, oh, oh
Gotta charm that snake
Charm that snake
There's a hook in the bait
The first one made a mistake
If you've got what it takes
You better charm that snake
You gotta let it show
You ain't gonna let it go
I'm gonna let 'em know
Never gonna let it go
Uh-huh, well, all right
Let's get it right
Oh, yeah
You gotta charm that snake
Whoa, gotta charm that snake now, baby
Whoa, gotta charm that snake now, baby
Charm that snake
Whoa, you gotta charm that snake now, baby
Whoa, you gotta charm that snake now, baby
Charm that snake
