Lyrics of
Femme Fatale

‘Femme Fatale’ is a song written by Lou Reed, the frontman of The Velvet Underground. The song was written at the request of Andy Warhol, who suggested Reed write a song about Edie Sedgwick, a frequent visitor to Warhols famous Factory. Sedgwick was an iconic and tragic figure within Warhols circle and embodied the idea of a femme fatale. The song was released in 1967 as part of the album The Velvet Underground & Nico, marked by the iconic cover ... featuring a banana designed by Warhol. See more [+]

Here she comes
You better watch your step
She's gonna break your heart in two, yes it's true
It's not hard to realize
Just look into her false colored eyes
She'll bring you up just to put you down, what a clown

Cos 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)
Just see the way she walks and hear the way she talks

You're written in her book
Number 47 have a look
She's going to smile just 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, it's true

Cos 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)
Just see the way she walks and hear the way she talks
