Lyrics

When you first see her, she's a vision in red
When you first see her, boy, you'll soon be dead
She's a flower of a rose over a stem full of thorns waiting for you
You'll surrender to the smoke of her eyes
You'll surrender to the fire inside
Boy, you're gonna feel the burn long before you learn, that's for sure, yeah

Cause though she tastes sweet, there is danger beneath
She's gonna cast her spell, she's gonna sink her teeth
Boy, you better run or you'll never see the sun shine again
Yeah, yeah, yeah, cause she's a black widow, black widow, black widow

You feel the temptation lead you into her bed
You'll find the temptation leads to Hell instead
Drawn to her sin, you're gonna fall right in, that's for sure, yeah
Turn back now, you better listen to me, son
Turn back now, you don't wanna be the one
To feed into all the evil that she do, that's for sure, yeah

Cause though she tastes sweet, there is danger beneath
She's gonna cast her spell, she's gonna sink her teeth
Boy, you better run or you'll never see the sun shine again
Yeah, yeah, yeah, cause she's a black widow, black widow, black widow

All the time you waited for another love to come
Left you more susceptible, more likely to succumb
To tie yourself to the first one who finally came your way
Patience now, if you give in she's gonna take you to your grave, yeah

Cause though she tastes sweet, there is danger beneath
She's gonna cast her spell, she's gonna sink her teeth
Watch her venom run down onto your bloodstained sheets
Well, you had your fun playing her pretend
But you can't escape from the spider's web
Boy, you better run or you'll never see the sun shine again
Yeah, yeah, yeah, cause she's a black widow
She's a black widow
She's a black widow
