[Verse 1: Robert Palmer]
She says your money's safe
You needn't keep your head down
Now who's kidding who?
Her picture's all over town

[Pre-Chorus: Robert Palmer]
I always knew that she was on the run
I read the paper and it said so
I know you like them to be troublesome
Take it to the maximum

[Chorus: Robert Palmer & chorus]
She's a murderess, murderer
She likes to go for the jugular
Murderess, murderer
That woman of yours is a killer

[Verse 2: Robert Palmer]
I heard his breath escape
She left the gun on the floor
He left his key with me
I hadn't been there before

[Pre-Chorus: Robert Palmer]
I always knew that she was on the run
I read the paper and it said so
I know you like them to be troublesome
Take it to the maximum
[Chorus: Robert Palmer & chorus]
She's a murderess, murderer
She likes to go for the jugular
Murderess, murderer
That woman of yours is a killer

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3: Robert Palmer]
She says she's innocent
She says she's your 'baby face'
Ah who's kidding who?
Your things are in a suitcase

[Pre-Chorus: Robert Palmer]
I always knew that she was on the run
I read the paper and it said so
I know you like them to be troublesome
Take it to the maximum

[Chorus: Robert Palmer & chorus]
She's a murderess, murderer
She likes to go for the jugular
Murderess, murderer
That woman of yours is a killer
[Chorus: Robert Palmer & chorus]
She's a murderess, murderer
She likes to go for the jugular
Murderess, murderer
That woman of yours is a killer

[Chorus: Robert Palmer & chorus]
She's a murderess, murderer
She likes to go for the jugular
Murderess, murderer
That woman of yours is a killer
