Praying Mantis Lyrics

Album: Most of the Girls Like to Dance, But Only Some of the Boys Do



I saw a girl, she reminded me of you

She did the things that a girl like you might do

Her body was green and she had two vicious jaws

She found her a mate as she kissed him with her claws



Yes but I survived, it was on TV

She had six strong legs and it frightened me

She had insect eyes, but I could still see

That the looks she gave him, you give to me



I feel like a praying mantis (I sense her acting)

Just like a praying mantis (I sense her antics)

I can't help it I've been too frantic too long



She bit off his head so he would not feel the pain

She wanted his body so much she ate his brain

Yes but I survived, no you won't catch me

I'll resist this urge that's tempting me

I'll avert my eyes, keep you off my knee

But it feels so good when you talk to me



I feel like a praying mantis (I sense her acting)

Just like a praying mantis (I sense her antics)

I can't help it I've been too frantic too long



solo



Yes but I survived, it was on TV

She had six strong legs and it frightened me

She had insect eyes, but I could still see

That the looks she gave him, you give to me



I feel like a praying mantis (I sense her acting)

Just like a praying mantis (I sense your antics)

I can't help it I've been too frantic too long...



Like a pray-ay-ay...

I feel like a praying mantis...

Ay-ay-oh-ay...
