High heals kicking dust on the hot dance floor
I need to take a look and I can't let go
I feel all fired up and I'm ready for more

Like a Valkyrie she moves in the disco light
There's no help for me I stand there all paralyzed
As she digs out the hatchet and gets ready to fight

Her lips covered in red
And those eyes all black

That's war, warpaint, warpaint
War, that's warpaint, warpaint
That ain't no lipstick baby
That ain't no make up at all
That's war, warpaint

She knows she's a predator and I'm the prey
She shows off her weapons and I can't escape
She goes on the attack - clear the ring, let's play

Every hip swing carries out her dangerous threat
Every kiss is like an arrow with a deadly head
That splits my body into blood and sweat

Her lips covered in red
And those eyes all black

That's war, warpaint, warpaint
War, that's warpaint, warpaint
That ain't no lipstick baby
That ain't no make up at all
That's war, warpaint

Warpaint
Come on, show it to me

Warpaint

Those lips covered in red
And those nails all black

That's war, warpaint, warpaint
War, that's warpaint, warpaint
That ain't no lipstick baby
That ain't no make up at all
That's war, warpaint
