Lyrics: Love’s a Snakebite
Performed by Erato & The Cattle Drive
Verse 1:
Well, love’s a lot like walkin’ through the grass,
You don’t see the danger ‘til you hear it pass.
First, it’s quiet, then comes the hiss,
Just like that passive-aggressive text I missed.
I thought we had it all figured out,
But your venom hit, now I’m filled with doubt.
Chorus:
Oh, love’s a rattlesnake, baby, can’t you see?
It coils up tight, then strikes suddenly.
We didn’t hear the rattle ‘til it was too late,
Now I’m runnin’ from a bite, and we can’t escape fate.
Like a rattlesnake’s warning, I heard it loud,
But I stayed close, now I’m runnin’ scared and a little aroused.
Verse 2:
Sometimes love’s like a rattle in the night,
Gives you just enough of a warning before it bites.
You think you’re safe, think you’ve got it tamed,
But baby, I’m bruised from this lover’s game.
I stepped too close, ignored the sound,
Now I’m on the ground, tryin’ not to get taken down.
Chorus:
Oh, love’s a rattlesnake, baby, can’t you see?
It coils up tight, then strikes suddenly.
We didn’t hear the rattle ‘til it was too late,
Now I’m runnin’ from a bite, and we can’t escape fate.
Like a rattlesnake’s warning, I heard it loud,
But I stayed close, now I’m runnin’ scared and a little aroused.
Bridge:
You gave me a chance to walk away,
But I stood there, thought I’d stay.
Now I’m stuck with the venom in my veins,
Should’ve known, love’s always got a little pain.
Chorus:
Oh, love’s a rattlesnake, baby, can’t you see?
It coils up tight, then strikes suddenly.
We didn’t hear the rattle ‘til it was too late,
Now I’m runnin’ from a bite, and we can’t escape fate.
Like a rattlesnake’s warning, I heard it loud,
But I stayed close, now I’m runnin’ scared and a little aroused.
Outro:
So, if you hear that hissin’ sound, my friend,
It’s love’s little warning before the end.
Take a step back, or stay and fight,
But remember, love’s got a venomous bite.
