Desiree Lyrics

Rick Vito Desiree

Eyes of black and skin so white
 She moves so easily in through the night
 You feel her power, she takes yours away
 With your heart and soul you'll give her anything she says
 Mother tell son, "Only true love waits"
 But he won't hear the warning till it's far too late
 And mama says...

  Desiree will break your heart
  Her rhythm and blues will tear you all apart, son
  Desiree will break your heart
  And you can't kick the habit once she makes it start, son
  She's the one who practiced the art
  She's gonna break your heart

 Silhouette against a fading sky
 Queen of fools, all prepared to die
 She whispers maigic, she smiles a dream
 You think it must be love but it ain't what it seems
 Miles from nowhere with no place to stay
 She'll leave you stranded all alone out on the lost highway
 And mama says...

  [Chorus]

 The wind cries, a girl's voice sings
 You turn to see her, but don't find a thing
 Ain't nothing left but your foolish desire
 And the cold all around will not cool this fire
 Mother tell son, "For true love you must wait"
 But he won't hear the warning until it's far too late
 And mama says...

  [Chorus]
