Written by Ann Savoy

lyrics

You’ve got Cajun blood with its dark tides flowing
What you think there’s just no knowing
Forgotten French words they sound so sweet
Oo, babe, you knock me off of my feet.

Gotta’ handle you lightly, kid gloves all the time,
Though you’re sweet like a baby tough most all of the time
Like a wildcat on a leash or a bird in the hand
Gotta’ tread lightly with your kind of man.

I don’t know what it is that makes my hot blood rise
Could it be those sleepy bedroom eyes?
Bad boy brooding underneath your skin
Tough as a warrior looking after his kin.

T’es brute comme un cocodrie monté à terre
Sois tu dépasse où t’arrives pas, dit ta mère,
Il y a rien plus drôle que du monde, tu m’as dit
Mais toi t’es mon bébé, t’es mon homme, t’es ma vie.

(You’re rough as a crocodile who has come up on land
You either go too far or you don’t quite arrive, says your mom,
People are strange, so you say,
But you are my baby, you’re my man, you’re my life.)

Whiskey on your lips gives me a thrill
You’re my man and I love you still
Your dark eyes flash over the edge of your glass
You’re my man, got a love that will last.
