|
She looked at me across the room |
|
Emerging from a silk cocoon |
|
Along beneath venetian chandeliers |
|
Against the moon her body rocks |
|
Her eyes were cunning like a fox |
|
The wings of passion fly on all frontiers |
|
From this fire there's no returning |
|
No escape your heart is burning |
|
Love becomes a lethal weapon |
|
No one is to smart |
|
In affairs of the heart |
|
Now upon the bridge she waits |
|
Dreaming of our tangled fates |
|
Her face was like a ghost with eyes of jade |
|
I fell just like a falling star |
|
A victim of this coup d'etat |
|
I could not see behind this masquerade |
|
From this fire there's no returning |
|
No escape your heart is burning |
|
Love becomes a leathal weapon |
|
Be careful where you start |
|
In affairs of the heart |
|
Sometimes i think i'll never learn |
|
Were all those promises in vain |
|
Do the wings of fire still remain |
|
All is fair in love and war |
|
The tender draw the shortest straw |
|
Like autumn leaves they vanish in the air |
|
Is this the time we say good-bye |
|
I call her room there's no reply |
|
Tonight we end this fleeting love affair |
|
From this fire there's no returning |
|
No escape your heart is burning |
|
Love becomes a leathal weapon |
|
Sharper than a dart |
|
In affairs of the heart |
