Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Waiting at the door, waiting at the door, waiting
Waiting at the door, waiting at the door, waiting
[Verse 2]
How I adore little girls
They lose their heads at once
[Verse 3]
I am seized by feelings of vanity and fear
There is no barrier between us
Whispers and moans and ringing in my ear
There is no barrier between us
Divine, delicious
But I do not see or hear anything
I'm born away to a senseless world
So strange, so remote
I don't know good from bad
Anatole, Anatole, I'm so frightened
[Verse 4]
You are enchanting
And as we danced, he pressed
My waist and hand and told me I was
[Verse 5]
Bewitching
And I love you
Bewitching
And I love you
And during the ecossaise, he
Gazed in my eyes and said nothing, just
Gazed in my eyes, my frightened eyes
Such confident tenderness, I could not say what I had
To say
[Verse 6]
Don't lower your eyes
I love you
I am in love, dear, I am in love
[Verse 7]
Gaze in my eyes
I love you
You are bewitching
What can I do?
Darling, what can I do?
[Verse 8]
Don't say such things
I am betrothed
I love another
[Verse 9]
Don't speak to me of that
When I tell you that I am madly, madly
In love with you
Is it my fault that you're enchanting?
[Verse 10]
I'm so frightened
I don't understand anything tonight
I'm here now
[Verse 11]
Natalie?
I can feel your eyes upon me
Blocking her path
I bring her face close to mine
His large, glittering, masculine eyes
Are so close to mine
That I see nothing else
[Verse 12]
Is it possible that I should never see you again?
I love you madly, can I never?
Natalie?
[Verse 13]
You press my arm
Natalie?
You're hurting my hands
Natalie?
I don't understand
I have nothing to say
[Verse 14]
Burning lips pressed to mine
Tell me what just happened
[Verse 15]
I'm trembling
So frightening
[Verse 16]
Andrey
[Verse 17]
But I love you
Of that, there is no doubt
How else could all of this have happened?
How else could we have kissed?
It means that I have loved you from the first
It means that you are kind, noble, and splendid
And I could not help loving you
[Verse 18]
I will love you, Anatole
I'll do anything for you
I'll do anything for you
