S-O-S she is in disguise S-O-S she is in disguise There's a she wolf in disguise, Coming out, coming out, coming out A domesticated girl that's all you ask of me Darling it is no joke, this is lycanthropy Moon's awake now, with eyes wide open My body is craving, so feed the hungry I've been devoting myself to you Monday to Monday And Friday to Friday Not getting enough retribution Or decent incentives to keep me at it Starting to feel just a little abused Like a coffee machine in an office (ahoo) So I'm gonna go somewhere closer To get me a lover and tell you about it There's a she wolf in the closet Open up and set her free (ahoo) There's a she wolf in the closet Let it out so it can breath Sitting across the bar, staring right at her prey It's going well so far, she's gonna get her way Nocturnal creatures are not so prudent, The moon's my teacher, and I'm her student To locate the single man I've got on me a special radar, And the fire department's hot line in case I get in trouble later Not looking for cute little divas Or rich city guys that just want to enjoy I'm having a very good time and behave very bad in the arms of a boy There's a she wolf in the closet Open up and set her free (ahoo) There's a she wolf in the closet Let it out so it can breath S-O-S she is in disguise S-O-S she is in disguise There's a she wolf in disguise Coming out, coming out, coming out S-O-S she is in disguise S-O-S she is in disguise There's a she wolf in disguise Coming out, coming out, coming out There's a she wolf in the closet Let it out so it can breath
