Lyrics

[00:02.60]
[00:09.29] So your grandmother sounds to me
[00:15.23] A woman I would be proud to be
[00:20.42] And you say she reminds you of me
[00:26.23] Every little boy is so naive oh
[00:31.11]
[00:32.04] I will not be a victim of romance
[00:37.48] I will not be a victim of circumstance
[00:41.66] Chance or circumstance or romance or any man
[00:46.79] Who could get his dirty little hands on me
[00:51.66]
[01:04.28] So your grandfather sounds like me
[01:09.41] Head up shoulders back and proud to be
[01:14.72] Every little girl is so naive
[01:20.10] Falling in love with the first man that she sees
[01:23.72]
[01:25.35] I will not be a victim of romance
[01:30.66] I will not be a victim of circumstance
[01:34.91] Chance or circumstance or romance or any man
[01:39.91] Who could get his dirty little hands on me
[01:44.41]
[01:47.10]
[01:56.29] When we were in love if we were
[02:01.60] When we were in love
[02:05.10] I was an eagle
[02:10.16] And you were a dove
[02:11.91]
[02:19.66] Today I will feel something other than regret
[02:25.04] Pass me a glass and a half-smoked cigarette
[02:30.10] I've damn near got no dignity left
[02:35.29] I've damn near got no dignity left oh
[02:39.72]
[02:40.33]
[02:40.89] I will not be a victim of romance
[02:45.95] I will not be a victim of circumstance
[02:50.14] Chance or circumstance or romance or any man
[02:55.14] Who could get his dirty little hands on me
[03:01.27]
[03:11.33] When we were in love if we were
[03:16.27] When we were in love
[03:19.39] I was an eagle
[03:24.52] And you were a dove
[03:26.52]
[03:33.64] When we were in love if we were
[03:38.70] When we were in love
[03:42.14] You were a dove
[03:44.02] And I rose above you and preyed
[03:50.46]
