[English]

She's a loner but she's wild,

She's got the magic in her eye

The kind of woman you fall in love with in the movies

She's a loner but she's fine

Always took wise decisions,

Always followed the right directions

And so far, there's nothing more to tell

And nothing more to say

Nothing more to tell

Nothing more to say

Don't ever get too close to the river

I swear I saw something move your way

Deep deep cold black water

I swear I saw trouble coming this way

Trouble is coming your way

Don't you see it? It's right in front of you

Stay still and close your eyes

She tried to get out, she sure tried to find a way out of it

This swampy hell where the monster's still living here

Sank its teeth into her pretty skin

Until there's no more blood,

Until there's no more life,

Until she's just a plain copy of herself

Get out of her way

Get out of her way

Get out of her way

Get out of her way

Don't ever get too close to the river

I swear I saw something move your way

Deep deep cold black water

I swear I saw trouble coming this way

Trouble is coming your way

Don't ever get too close to the river

I said I saw something move your way

Deep deep cold black water

I said I saw trouble coming your way

I said I saw trouble coming your way

Don't ever get too close to the river

I said I saw something move your way

Deep deep cold black water

I said I saw trouble coming your way
