Retreat! Songtext
von Sharon Jones and the Dap‐Kings

I see you coming from a mile away
And you lookin′ real cocky
You think that you can keep the sea at bay
But it's about to get choppy

Play with me and you′ll play with fire
I can make you pay
I'll burn you up if it's my desire
Do you hear what I say?

Boy, you don′t know what I′m all about
I'll chew you up and then I′ll spit you out
So if you know what's good for you


Retreat!
Hey, hey, hey
Retreat, yeah, step back boy because you can′t fix crazy
Retreat!
Retreat, retreat, yeah, raise your white flag high 'cause I′m comin' in blazin'
Retreat!
Retreat, ′cause it′s my way baby and I don't care none about the rest of you
Retreat!
Retreat, that′s what I say baby and I don't care if it makes sense to you

Taking you apart is my kind of fun
Count to three and then you better run
1, 2, 3, here I come!

Retreat!
Retreat, yeah, retreat, Hell hath no fury like a woman scorn
Retreat!
Retreat, retreat, I′ll make you wish that you was never ever born
Retreat!
Retreat, retreat, what a fool you'd be to take me on
Retreat!
Retreat, oh come on, oh come on


Retreat!
Retreat, yeah, retreat, Hell hath no fury like a woman scorn
Retreat!
Retreat, retreat, I′ll make you wish that you was never ever born
Retreat!
Retreat, retreat, what a fool you'd be to take me on
Retreat!
Retreat!
Fly high, I'm comin′ in blazin′
