SECRETLY CRUEL
Gene Simmons

[Riff 1]
[Rhy. Fig 1a]
[Rhy. Fig 1b]

[Rhy. Fig 1a] (3x)
I saw my pictures hangin' on her wall 
She cut it out of that magazine 
It was a hot day, she wore lingerie 
And nothin' else in between, ooh 
She had long hair and thigh high snake skin boots 
And she was all over me like a cheap suit 

[Rhy. Fig 2a w/ Riff 2]
Then she bared herself, aha 
And stripped my soul 
[Rhy. Fig 3]
Began to shake, rattle, and roll 
Then I took control, yeah 
[Riff 3]

[Rhy. Fig 4a] (2x)
But I know she's secretly cruel 
I ain't nobody's fool 
Yeah, I know she's secretly cruel 
Just when I though it was safe 
She puts her lips to my face 
[Rhy. Fig 4b]
She's secretly, secretly cruel 

[Rhy. Fig 1a] (2x)
Well she grabbed my hair 
And I began to rise 
I could tell what she wanted 
By that look in her eyes, oh, ow 
By that look in her eyes, yeah 
I said "Come here babe and make it quick" 
She said "Not so fast" 
And had a drink 

[Rhy. Fig 2b w/ Riff 4]
Well it ain't just luck 
But I better knock on wood 
[Rhy. Fig 3]
She's gonna give me everything 
Somehow I knew she would 
[Riff 3]

[Rhy. Fig 4a] (2x)
Oh, but I know she's secretly cruel 
I ain't nobody's fool 
Well, I know she's secretly cruel 
I said baby you're the fire, but I am the fuel 
[Rhy. Fig 4b]
She's secretly, secretly cruel 
Yeah, so cruel 

[Solo over Rhy. Fig 1a (3x)]

[Rhy. Fig 2a w/ Riff 5]
Well it ain't just luck (ain't just luck) 
But I better knock on wood, yeah 
[Rhy. Fig 3]
She's gonna give me everything 
Somehow I knew she would 
[Riff 3]

[Rhy. Fig 4a w/ Riff 6]
Oh, but I know she's secretly cruel 
I ain't nobody's fool, nobody's fool 
[Rhy. Fig 4a] (repeat and fade)
Secretly, she's so cruel (cruel) 
I'm in love, but I don't play the fool 
Secretly, she's so cruel, secretly, so cruel 
Cruel, yeah, cruel, yeah, cruel, yeah 
I know she's secretly, she's so cruel, secretly, so cruel 
Cruel, yeah, cruel, yeah, cruel, yeah 
I know she's secretly, she's so cruel, secretly, she's so cruel 
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, secretly, secretly cruel, cruel
