Watching you watching me

I was hoping you'd be here tonight

Watching him watching you

He'd better watch out too

Keeps getting in my light

I think he's going home alone

Don't know what you're running for

He thinks he's got you

Where he wants you, babe

But he don't understand

The power of the claw

The claw, the claw, the claw

You know me, I know you

We both know what we came here for

And he thinks he knows you

He thinks he's got you too

Gonna make him cry for sure

He's gonna have

To make his own way home

I don't know what he's smiling for

He thinks you're gonna

Keep your promise, babe

But he don't understand

The power of the claw

The claw, the claw, the claw

The claw, the claw, the claw, the claw

[Guitar Solo]

Me walking up to you

And whisper in your eager ear

You whisper back to me

And he begins to see

He feels the claw is near

And so the ballet starts again

Exit stage left through the door

We begin the horizontal dance

And he begins to know

Just what the claw is for

The claw, the claw, the claw

The claw, the claw, the claw, the claw

The claw, the claw, the claw

The claw, the claw, the claw

You know just what the claw is for

You know just what the claw is for

You know just what the claw is for

I know what my claw is for
