Affairs of the Heart

She looked at me across the room, emerging from a silk cocoon

Alone, beneath venetian chandeliers

Against the moon, her body rocks, her eyes were cunning like a fox

The wings of passion fly on all frontiers

From this fire, there's no returning, no escape, your heart is burning

Love becomes a lethal weapon, no no one is too smart

In affairs of the heart

In affairs of the heart

Now upon the bridge she waits, dreaming of our tangled fates

Her face was like a ghost with eyes of jade

LI fell just like a falling star, a victim of this coup d'etat

I could not see behind this masquerade

From this fire, there's no returning, no escape, your heart is burning

Love becomes a lethal weapon, careful where you start

In affairs of the heart

In affairs of the heart

In affairs of the heart

Sometimes I think I'll never learn

Were all those promises in vain?

Do the wings of fire still remain?

All is fair in love and war, the tender draw the shortest straw

Like autumn leaves, they vanish in the air

Is this the time we say goodbye? I call her room, there's no reply

Tonight we end this fleeting love affair

From this fire, there's no returning, no escape, your heart is burning

Love becomes a lethal weapon, sharper than a dart

In affairs of the heart

In affairs of the heart

In affairs of the heart

In affairs of the heart
