Once life was real simple
And ev’rything was grand
A woman was a woman
And a man was just a man
Now life is a puzzle
And nothing’s what it seems
For what you see’s no guarantee
She’ll live up to your dreams
She’s got skeletons in her closet
Yeah they’re full o’ bones
And they rattle and ache
And they shiver and shake
Sometimes they even moan
O-oh O-oh O-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Well ev’ry night at Velvets
You do your little dance
You hit the floor and try once more
To find a new romance
That girl looking your way
Well I heard a thing or two
She’s upside down and back-to-front
So careful what you do
She’s got skeletons in her closet...
She pulls out a cigarette
And says “Oh do you mind?
I know they’re bad but I don’t care
They make me feel all right”
Well it’s true what they say
It’s better the devil you know
Well she’s the one you don’t
And she will drag you down below
She’s got skeletons in her closet...
