"Femme Fatale"
=======================================
album _The Velvet Underground and Nico_
(The Velvet Underground, 1967)
written by Lou Reed
=======================================
Here she comes
you'd better watch your step
She's going to break your heart in two
it's true
It's not hard to realize
just look into her false colored eyes
She'll build you up to just put you down
what a clown
'Cause everybody knows
(she's a femme fatale)
the things she does to please
(she's a femme fatale)
She's just a little tease
(she's a femme fatale)
See the way she walks
hear the way she talks
You're written in her book
you're number 37, have a look
She's going to smile to make you frown
what a clown
Little boy, she's from the street
before you start you're already beat
She's going to play you for a fool
yes it's true
'Cause everybody knows
(she's a femme fatale)
the things she does to please
(she's a femme fatale)
She's just a little tease
(she's a femme fatale)
See the way she walks
hear the way she talks
'Cause everybody knows
(she's a femme fatale)
the things she does to please
(she's a femme fatale)
She's just a little tease
(she's a femme fatale)
Oh wow woh
(she's a femme fatale)
oh wow woh
(she's a femme fatale)
Oh wow woh
(she's a femme fatale)
oh wow woh
(she's a femme fatale)

'Cause everybody knows
(she's a femme fatale)
the things she does to please
(she's a femme fatale)
She's just a little tease
(she's a femme fatale)
See the way she walks
hear the way she talks
You're written in her book
you're number 37, have a look
She's going to smile to make you frown
what a clown
Little boy, she's from the street
before you start you're already beat
She's going to play you for a fool
yes it's true
'Cause everybody knows
(she's a femme fatale)
the things she does to please
(she's a femme fatale)
She's just a little tease
(she's a femme fatale)
See the way she walks
hear the way she talks
'Cause everybody knows
(she's a femme fatale)
(she's a femme fatale)
(She's a femme fatale)
oh wow woh
(she's a femme fatale)
Oh wow woh
(she's a femme fatale)
oh wow woh
(she's a femme fatale)
Oh wow woh

there is no speed correction
and the whole recording is too slow (6%)
as compared with the French TV broadcast.

Femme Fatale seems to be the same take
but with alternate 'falsetto' "she's a femme fatale"
backing vocals.
