She made brazen overtures to a man who never had a friend in this town till she came here. Oh, yes That woman made brazen overtures With a gilt-edged guarantee She had a golden glint in her eye And a silver voice with a counterfeit ring Just melt her down and you’ll reveal A lump of lead as cold as steel Here, where a woman’s heart should be!
