SECRETLY CRUEL 
Gene Simmons 

Riff 1 
Rhy. Fig 1a 
Rhy. Fig 1b 

Rhy. Fig 1a (3x) 
I saw my pictures hangin' on her wall 
She cut it out of that magazine 
It was a hot day, she wore lingerie 
And nothin' else in between, ooh 
She had long hair and thigh high snake skin boots 
And she was all over me like a cheap suit 

Rhy. Fig 2a w/ Riff 2 
Then she bared herself, aha 
And stripped my soul 
Rhy. Fig 3 
Began to shake, rattle, and roll 
Then I took control, yeah 
Riff 3 

Rhy. Fig 4a (2x) 
But I know she's secretly cruel 
I ain't nobody's fool 
Yeah, I know she's secretly cruel 
Just when I though it was safe 
She puts her lips to my face 
Rhy. Fig 4b 
She's secretly, secretly cruel 

Rhy. Fig 1a (2x) 
Well she grabbed my hair 
And I began to rise 
I could tell what she wanted 
By that look in her eyes, oh, ow 
By that look in her eyes, yeah 
I said "Come here babe and make it quick" 
She said "Not so fast" 
And had a drink 

Rhy. Fig 2b w/ Riff 4 
Well it ain't just luck 
But I better knock on wood 
Rhy. Fig 3 
She's gonna give me everything 
Somehow I knew she would 
Riff 3 

Rhy. Fig 4a (2x) 
Oh, but I know she's secretly cruel 
I ain't nobody's fool 
Well, I know she's secretly cruel 
I said baby you're the fire, but I am the fuel 
Rhy. Fig 4b 
She's secretly, secretly cruel 
Yeah, so cruel 

Solo over Rhy. Fig 1a (3x) 

Rhy. Fig 2a w/ Riff 5 
Well it ain't just luck (ain't just luck) 
But I better knock on wood, yeah 
Rhy. Fig 3 
She's gonna give me everything 
Somehow I knew she would 
Riff 3 

Rhy. Fig 4a w/ Riff 6 
Oh, but I know she's secretly cruel 
I ain't nobody's fool, nobody's fool 
Rhy. Fig 4a (repeat and fade) 
Secretly, she's so cruel (cruel) 
I'm in love, but I don't play the fool 
Secretly, she's so cruel, secretly, so cruel 
Cruel, yeah, cruel, yeah, cruel, yeah 
I know she's secretly, she's so cruel, secretly, so cruel 
Cruel, yeah, cruel, yeah, cruel, yeah 
I know she's secretly, she's so cruel, secretly, she's so cruel 
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, secretly, secretly cruel, cruel
