Okay 007, you know why I'm here,
drop the camaraderie, you have a lot to fear,
I was not born yesterday, as you may believe,
unbeknown to little you, I too learnt to decieve.
I have stalked you silently, dodging shadows dark,
moving in shallow waters, hunting like a shark,
one false move you get it, right between the eyes,
heaven knows you've given it, far too many tries.
Kick the pistol over here, do not stop to think,
my gun is fully loaded, I could kill you with a blink,
gently, gently does it, do not hold me with that gaze,
do not think for a moment, you can set this heart ablaze.
I warn you, turn your face away, back against the wall,
you have no power over me, just because I'm small,
I say again, please back away, I'm warning you my friend,
my gun is cocked, one false move, these bullets I will spend.
My gun! What happened? It's been knocked from my hand!
This was not meant to happen, not the way I planned,
your eyes have hynotized me, there is nothing I can do,
I'm totally powerless, beneath the weight of you.
We can strike a bargain, split the gold and run,
make for the speed boat, and head out for the sun,
come on, be a sport James, this is a fair deal,
I'm just a simple woman, no robot made of steel.
I do not think you realise, how deep we are getting,
just how many enemies, who on your life are betting,
Okay 007, I'll come clean, on one condition,
give me space to breathe so I can adjust my position!
