Take My Tip [Bowie]

You think you're gonna please her so you walk right up and tease her
But she walks right on by
You're scared to walk beside her 'cause you're playing with the spider
Who possess the sky

She got the green backs, my, oh, my

You gotta act tall, think big
If you wanna make a mark in her book

Gotta get a head, get a car, fancy clothes
Or she'll throw you right off of her hook

Here's the news

You are but one fish in her back garden scene
Gotta make like a shark to be free
Something bad on your mind

Take my tip, get on out
Take my tip, get on out

You can't give all, you got to take something back
Before she'll put you right up on her rack
With some others in mind

Take my tip, get on out
Take my tip, get on out

You think you're gonna please her so you walk right up and tease her
But she walks right on by
You're scared to walk beside her 'cause you're playing with the tiger
Who possess the sky

She got the green backs, my, oh, my

You gotta act tall, think big
If you wanna make a mark in her book

Gotta get a head, get a car, fancy clothes
Or she'll throw you right off of her hook

Here's the news

You are but one fish in her back garden scene
Gotta make like a shark to be free
Something bad on your mind

Get it off, take my tip
Get it off, take my tip

You can't give all, you have to take something back
Before she'll put you right up on the rack
With some others in mind

Take my tip, get on out
Take my tip, get on out

Take my tip, get on out
Take my tip, get on out
