It€™s fun to think of this woman is Uptown Girl€™s evil twin sister. Why not? Billy Joel has written extensively about fatal women (She€™s always a woman deserves an honorable mention in this list). With three divorces behind his back, one can guess that the piano man knew a thing or two about torturous relations with women. €œShe cuts you hard, she cuts you deep/She's got so much skill/She's so fascinating/that you're still there waiting/When she comes back for the kill€
