Boomslang Woman is an original Afrobeat song written, produced and with lyrics by Paul Robert Thomas, with music exclusively commercially licensed to Paul, from the album Homeland
*
This raw Afrobeat track processes the bitter betrayal of a toxic, two-faced partner. Comparing her to a venomous snake, the narrator exposes her cold-hearted lies and backstabbing malice. Traumatized but resolute, he fiercely reclaims his peace and demands she walk out for good.

Boomslang Woman lyrics
With slits for eyes, teeth like fangs
Brown skin as thick as a Boomslangs
You once said that I was your hero
But your heart is colder than absolute zero
Your sour words like bitter lemons
Spat from your mouth like poisonous venom
Bite into my soul like driving rain
Paralyzing me with burning pain
And when you’ve finished crawling on the floor
And stopped to scream and slide about
Just close the door on your way out
Coz I don’t wanna see you any more
Boomslang woman, you Boomslang woman
Well, you smile to my face
But hiss behind my back
No matter what the time or place
You go on the attack
You spit out my name
To everyone you can
Things can never be the same
Maybe your skin is too thick to understand
And when you’ve finished crawling on the floor
And stopped to scream and slide about
Just close the door on your way out
Coz I don’t wanna see you any more
Boomslang woman, you Boomslang woman
You hurt me like no other has before
Don’t tell me that I shouldn’t keep score
I put my trust and hope in you
Now I feel such a low down fool
You took me on a ride till the end
You almost drove me round the bend
I ain’t gonna say that I wish you well
In fact I hope that you rot in hell
And when you’ve finished crawling on the floor
And stopped to scream and slide about
Just close the door on your way out
Coz I don’t wanna see you any more
Boomslang woman, you Boomslang woman
Oh how you changed
How you changed
You’re no longer recognizable to my brain
Oh the pain
Oh the pain
I never want to love anybody again
And when you’ve finished crawling on the floor
And stopped to scream and slide about
Just close the door on your way out
Coz I don’t wanna see you any more
Boomslang woman, you Boomslang woman
And when you’ve finished crawling on the floor
And stopped to scream and slide about
Just close the door on your way out
Coz I don’t wanna see you any more
No, I don’t wanna see you any more
Boomslang woman, Boomslang woman
Boomslang, Boomslang
