Slow Down Georgie (She's Poison)

John/Taupin

album Breaking Hearts 1984


hey there Georgie gotta couple of things to say
one you're my friend and two it's hurting me to see you act this way
but my hands are tied and I can only try to talk you out of a fall
cause the reputation of the woman you dating's bout as nasty as the Berlin wall

slow down Georgie she's poison
man you've gotta watch yourself
she's gonna get in your head
she's gonna crawl in your bed
you're just a stepping stone to someone else

slow down Georgie she's poison
she's just another divorcee
an undercover lover of a hundred other
little fish in the sea

you better cut her loose before she gets her hooks in you
if you gave her the world and it was covered in pearls
she'd only ask for the moon
she's got you hypnotised with her big brown eyes and body that could stop a clock
but if you think your face ain't gonna be replaced
Georgia boy you're in for a shock

slow down Georgie she's poison
man you've gotta watch yourself
she's gonna get in your head
she's gonna crawl in your bed
you're just a stepping stone to someone else

slow down Georgie she's poison
she's just another divorcee
an undercover lover of a hundred other
little fish in the sea

well it ain't my job to rain on your parade
but if the chips were down you'd do the same for me
it's always been that way

she's got your paralyzed with a pack of lies
about honour and the single girl
and if you buy that line you must be out of your mind
you must be living in another world

slow down Georgie she's poison
man you've gotta watch yourself
she's gonna get in your head
she's gonna crawl in your bed
you're just a stepping stone to someone else

slow down Georgie she's poison
she's just another divorcee
an undercover lover of a hundred other
little fish in the sea
