Snake in the Grass - The Temptations

Changes, that’s what you put me through

Slipping and sliding

Creeping and hiding

You better beware of the

Snake in the grass (beware)

He will surely bite (he will surely bite you)

I’m talking about the

Snake in the grass

He will surely bite you

(Better watch yourself better watch yourself)

Watch yourself

Adam and Eve first discovered

How low down the snake could be

Well he enticed them to taste the apple

Well, well, well

From the forbidden fruit tree

And ever since that time they’ve come

In every shape fashion and form

Seemingly harmless, yet their souls are possessed

With evil intentions and harm

I’m talking about the

Snake in the grass (He might be out there)

He will surely bite you s

(Better watch yourself better watch yourself)

I’m talking about the

Snake in the grass (ooh he’s evil)

He will surely bite you

(Better watch yourself better watch yourself)

Watch yourself

You see I found out about my friend

And how low down dirty he could be, well, well

I gave him all of my trust, yes I did

But you know he mislead me

He tried to take everything

That I own right from under my feet, yes he did

Tried to make time with that woman of mine

He turned out to be a snake in a man’s disguise

Snake in the grass (ooh he’s evil)

He will surely bite you

(Better watch yourself better watch yourself)

I’m talking about the

Snake in the grass

He will surely bite you (better watch yourself)

Watch yourself

It’s a shame

It’s a shame

It’s a shame

One more thing I would like to say is

He tried to take everything that I owned right from

Under my feet, lord he did

Tried to make time with that woman of mine

He turned out to be snake in a man’s disguise

Snake in the grass (ooh he’s evil)

He will surely bite you

(Better watch yourself better watch yourself,

Better watch yourself)

Talking about the

Snake in the grass (he's all around you)

He will surely bite you
