Lyrics to The Right Stuff (Brooklyn Mix)
Lyrics to the song The Right Stuff as recorded by Bryan Ferry.
(Ferry/Marr)
Got your money on the table
And the devil in your eye
Who is that woman with the crooked smile?
You got to go with what you feel
A little loving is a dangerous thing
Black is the ocean, a burning sky
Her nature's wild, it's hard to beat the right stuff
It's mountain high, river deep the right stuff
Got your pearls on a string
And your skin's so bare
Over your shoulder there's a world out there
You got the nerve, you gonna win
Boy you're playing with a dangerous thing
Her nature's wild, hard to beat the right stuff
It's mountain high, river deep the right stuff
So it goes without saying
The queen of the Nile
Lion woman with the crooked smile
You got the nerve, who's gonna win?
Boy you're playing with a dangerous thing
Her nature's wild, hard to beat the right stuff
It's mountain high, river deep the right stuff
When I held her the feeling's right
When I held her tonight
Send me the woman on a bended knee
Emerald eyes in desert heat
She's mountain high, river deep the right stuff
(right stuff, right stuff, right stuff)
Send me the woman to fight for me
Nature's wild, hard to beat
She's mountain high, river deep the right stuff
(right stuff), (right stuff), (right stuff), (right stuff), (right stuff)
The Right Stuff (Brooklyn Mix)
B-Side
The Brooklyn Mix of Bryan Ferry's The Right Stuff was used as the b-side to The Right Stuff 7". The re-mix edited out most of the backing vocals and the backing tracked had a different arrangement. This version has never appeared on CD other than a French 3" Promo CD.
