Verse 1
She enters already knowing What every room will choose to recall The kind of pause that arrives before something A held breath dressed in protocol Every head turns just a moment after Like the turn was their own decision But the decision was already made Before she crossed the division
Pre-Chorus
They’ve read the warning Know the name Know what it means to be in range And then she smiles And rearranges
Chorus
Femme Fatale Not a warning, an invitation Femme Fatale Not a label, a vocation She doesn’t collect the willing She collects the ones who tried to leave She is the thing you thought you understood Right up until you couldn’t breathe Femme Fatale Come have a taste —
Verse 2
The calculation is the art form The damage is the signature Elegance and predator In the same perfect silhouette They call it cold manipulation She calls it pattern recognition If you hand her the obsession She’ll invest it to your ruin
Pre-Chorus 2
They knew the name They saw it coming And when she smiled They started running toward her
Chorus
Femme Fatale Not a warning, an invitation Femme Fatale Not a label, a decoration She doesn’t collect the willing She collects the ones who tried to leave She is the thing you thought you understood Right up until you couldn’t breathe Femme Fatale Come have some more —
Bridge — spoken, cold
I don’t need any explanation I don’t create the wanting It exists before I enter I simply recognize it Name it And use it You could call it cruel I call it honest The only dishonesty here Is pretending you didn’t know How much you want me — need me — crave me — lust me Come have some more
Final Chorus
Femme Fatale Not a warning, an invitation Femme Fatale Not a label, a coronation She doesn’t collect the willing She collects the ones who tried to leave She is the thing you thought you understood Right up until you couldn’t breathe Femme Fatale She already had you Femme Fatale Where every touch fatal Every kiss is lethal Every embrace is enabled Femme Fatale
