Walking down the street
You're the center of my universe
You got the world in your pocket
My manhood in your purse
You ain't a bad girl, honey
No matter what the neighbours say
It's just that you were those skin-tight dresses
With your G-string tuned to "A"

Sweet, sweet, child of the street

Heaven sent, you're an angel dressed in black
Cool, stiletto strut, you're a drop jaw cardiac
You're the genuine, feline, prettiest girl I've ever seen
With your thief of hearts smile
You're a certified pleasure machine

Sweet, sweet, child of the street

Dressed to kill in diamonds and fur
You get what you want
With your pussy cat purr

But, the kittens got claws
She'll tear your heart out
The kittens got claws
She'll scratch your back
The kittens got claws
She'll tease an' please you
The kittens got claws
She's a heart attack

You treat me good
Sometimes you treat me bad
But, keep it up, honey
You're the best time I've ever had
No matter what you put me through I must confess
Oh, you got more style than a brand new XJS

Sweet, sweet, child of the street

Dressed to kill in diamonds and fur
You get what you want
With your pussy cat purr

But, the kittens got claws
She'll tear your heart out
The kittens got claws
She'll scratch your back
The kittens got claws
She'll tease an' please you
The kittens got claws
She's a heart attack...

Walking down the street
You're the center of my universe
You got the world in your pocket
My manhood in your purse
I know you ain't a bad girl, honey
No matter what the neighbours say
It's just that you were those skin-tight dresses
With your G-string tuned to "A"

Sweet, sweet, child of the street

Dressed to kill in diamonds and fur
You get what you want
With your pussy cat purr

But, the kittens got claws
She'll tear your heart out
The kittens got claws
She'll scratch your back
The kittens got claws
She'll tease an' please you
The kittens got claws
She'll blow your stack

The kittens got claws
She'll tear your heart out
The kittens got claws
She'll scratch your back
The kittens got claws
She'll tease an' please you
The kittens got claws
She's a heart attack...

You scratch my back, baby
An' I'll scratch yours...

Whitesnake are a rock band formed in England in 1978 by David Coverdale, after his departure from his previous band Deep Purple. Their early material has been compared by critics to the blues rock of Deep Purple, but they slowly began moving toward a more commercially accessible rock style. By the turn of the decade, the band’s commercial fortunes changed and they released a string of UK top 10 albums, Ready an' Willing (1980), Come an' Get It (1981), Saints & Sinners (1982) and Slide It In (1984), the last of which was their first to chart in the US and is certified 2x platinum.
