singer, songwriter, rock 'n' roller
The way that she walks
on down streets of slate,
The way that she talks
you know you'll never get it straight,
The way that she mocks
every plan that you try to make,
You know she's gonna make you wait.
The way that you dream
about her diamond eyes,
The way that you scheme
wonder and rhapsodize,
The way that you seem
to see through her disguise
And still believe, knowin' her lies.
She says she sees inside you
She will just close her eyes,
She sees signs all around her
She says you can't recognize.
The way that she makes
you forget what you're thinking of,
The way that she takes
your time with a velvet glove,
The way that she breaks
everything down to careless love,
And says it's what you're dying of.
Love's gonna bring you down.
Love's gonna bring you down.
When nothin' else turns you around
Love's gonna bring you,
Love's gonna bring you.
The way that she walks
shimmer in the summer heat,
The way that she talks
your heart always skips a beat,
The way that she mocks
everything that she can't meet,
You're just another retreat.
The way that you dream
the way she can mesmerize,
The way that you scheme
to get her to realize
The way that you seem
is maybe more than meets her eyes,
Still you apologize.
