Mean streak

Words & music by Ritchie Blackmore, Roger Glover and Ian Gillan

She came home last night rotten rolling drunk
She talk no sense but she sound good so she think
So I reached over and said "Hello!"
"Is there some planet you'd care to go?"
And she said "Venus on the rocks"

I say she got a mean streak
Black mamba don't compete
She got a mean streak
Temptation, bitter sweet

She drives me crazy, gets inside my brain
She spend my money down a drain auh
So I roll over for my reward "How much can I afford?"
And she says "Just a little more"

You know she got a mean streak
Black mamba don't compete
She got a mean streak
Temptation, bitter sweet

She got a mean streak
Black mamba don't compete
She got a mean streak
Temptation, bitter sweet

I can't take this no more
I tried so hard but I can't get through the door
Because one smile from those eyes
And I stand there paralyzed
And she says "You'd better beg for more"
"Get down sucka! You know what I like"

Ooh hang on...
Black mamba don't compete
She got a mean streak
Temptation, bitter sweet

She got a mean streak
Black mamba don't compete
She got a mean streak
Temptation, bitter sweet...
