(I BELIEVE)LOVE`S A PRIMA DONNA — текст песни (Steve Harley)

i should say by the way that you`re acting today
i can tell by the sigh in your eye
i can sure understand by the palm of your hand
that you know i`m so hot i could fry
because i`ve chased you, embraced you `n` turned round
`n` faced you
crowned you the truth of my youth
but you give me the line in the words of our time
it`s like living a stew that`s what most lovers do
it`s like escaping the sun, there`s nowwhere you can run

Chorus: i believe, i believe love`s a lover`s honour
i believe, i believe love`s a prima donna too

i shoulda guessed by the rest of the men that you`ve blessed
i was only an eye for an eye
but you wanted a part of my innocent heart
i was only your ship in the night
i shoulda knew, shoulda knew i was out just fro you
i believe in the power of the night
but like a fool i was had, now it`s driving me mad
i was only a prize in your libertine eyes
i had it coming to me i was too late to see

Chorus: i believe, i believe love`s a lover`s honour
i believe, i believe love`s a prima donna too

i could fight with the might of a thief in the night
i could kick, i could tear at your hair
i could break you in two like a man ought to do
but the woman i see has a right to be free
and the woman i need is a mischievous breed
don`t wanna live in a stew that`s what most lovers do
it`s like escaping the sun, there`s nowwhere you can run

Chorus: (fade)
