Lyrics Rick Springfield – Miss Mayhem

That girl has a gift
Like a social disease
If you catch my drift
She brought me to my knees

Oh yeah

Was it her plan of attack
While she was raking my back
She left me hanging
with my heart in the drain

Say a prayer for me
Winter is here in the month of July
It’s my misguided notion
Silent as the scream
There were no warning signs
in her eyes
And I’m so pleased to meet you
Miss Mayhem

I’m sleeping with a time bomb
She’s counting it down
I’m walking with napalm
In an organdy gown
Into my private slammer
She locked me down
And kept the key

Oh yeah

She is the woman in black
She is my panic attack

Say a prayer for me
Winter is here in the summer tonight
She’s freezing my emotion
As deadly as a scream
Swear I don’t see any fear
in her eyes
Thanks for introducing me
to Miss Mayhem

Tryin’ to run
while I’m shakin’ the dust off
Cryin’ to you while I’m
Scraping the rust off
Lying to you
while I’m breakin’ the trust up

Won’t you please

Say a prayer for me
Winter is here in the the month of July
It’s my misguided notion
Silent as the scream
There were no warning signs
in her eyes
And I’m so pleased to meet you
Miss Mayhem

Say a prayer for me
Winter is here in the summer tonight
She’s freezing my emotion
As deadly as a scream
Swear I don’t see any fear
in her eyes
Thanks for introducing me
To Miss Mayhem
