Slow Down Georgie (She's Poson)

Music & lyrics by Elton John & Bernie Taupin 1984

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hey there Georgie got a couple of things to say

One you're my friend, and two it's hurting me

Seeing 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're dating's

About as nasty as the Berlin wall

 

 

Slow down Georgie she's poison

Man you've got to watch yourself

She's gonna get in your head, she's gonna crawl in your bed

You're just a stepping stone for 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 give 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 a body that could stop a clock

But if you think your face ain't gonna be replaced

Georgie boy you're in for a shock

 

 

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 you paralysed 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

Done
