[I Believe] Love's A Prima Donna lyrics

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 for 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)
