Joan Armatrading Laurel And The Rose
Leaning on a blade of grass, looking for support
I got my head in the lion's mouth, I got my feet on thin ice
Oh, that spells danger, will I get compensation
When you break my soul? Will I get anxious
For a little affection? Oh, I feel danger
I don't want to cry too soon, don't want to sound the alarm
A lonely pedestrian, walking in the night
And there's no need to run 'cos I'm following behind
And I don't want, I don't want, I don't want to misunderstand
Am I the prize, the laurel and the rose?
Will you use me well or will I see hell?
That's the danger
I don't want to cry too soon, don't want to sound the alarm
A lonely pedestrian, walking in the night
And there's no need to run 'cos I'm following behind
And I don't want, I don't want, I don't want to misunderstand
But I feel there's some danger and I know
That you're the source, well I could try to run
But I'm sure you've got the speed and I can't say
I can't say, I can't say I'd fight you to win
I don't want to cry too soon, don't want to sound the alarm
But I feel there's some danger and I know that you're the source
Well, I could try to run but I'm sure you've got the speed
And I can't say, I can't say, I can't say I'd fight you to win
So I'll just face the danger, I don't want
To cry too soon, don't want to sound the alarm
I don't want to cry too soon
Don't want to sound the alarm
