[Intro] S.O.S, she's in disguise S.O.S, she's in disguise There's a she wolf in disguise Coming out, coming out, coming out [Verse 1] A domesticated girl, that's all you ask of me Darling, it is no joke, this is lycanthropy The moon's awake now, with eyes wide open My body's craving, so feed the hungry [Pre-Chorus 1] 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 I'm starting to feel just a little abused Like a coffee machine in an office (Uh) So I'm gonna go somewhere cozy to get me a lover And tell you about it [Chorus] There's a she-wolf in the closet Open up and set it free (Ah-ooh) There's a she-wolf in your closet Let it out so it can breathe [Verse 2] Sitting across a 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 [Pre-Chorus 2] To locate the single men, I got on me a special radar And the fire department hotline in case I get in trouble later Not looking for cute little divos or rich city guys I just want to enjoy (Uh) By having a very good time And behave very bad in the arms of a boy [Chorus] There's a she-wolf in the closet Open up and set it free (Ah-ooh) There's a she-wolf in your closet Let it out so it can breathe [Bridge] S.O.S, she's in disguise S.O.S, she's in disguise There's a she-wolf in disguise Coming out, coming out, coming out S.O.S, she's in disguise S.O.S, she's in disguise There's a she-wolf in disguise Coming out, coming out, coming out [Outro] There's a she-wolf in the closet Let it out so it can breathe
