She came home last night, rotten rolling drunk
She talk no sense, but she sound good so she think
So I reached over and said "Hello
Is there some planet you'd care to go?"
And she said Venus on the rocks [1]

She got a mean streak
Black Mamba, no compete

She got a mean streak
Temptation bitter sweet

She drives me crazy, gets inside my brain
She spend my money down a drain [2]
So I roll over for my reward
How much can I afford?
And she says:
"Just... a little more".

She got a mean streak
Black Mamba don't compete

She got a mean streak
Temptation bitter sweet

I can't take this no more
I tried so hard, but I can't get thru the door
Because one smile from those eyes
And I stand there paralyzed
And she says:
"You better beg for more, get down sucka, you know what I like" [3]
Oh hang on.

[1] The whole album is full of sexual references, see Knockin' at Your Back Door.

[2] Keep in mind that even in the 80s, they kept going back to their their blues roots.

[3] Go girl!
