Promise

Jezebel wasn't born with a silver spoon in her mouth
She probably had less than every one of us
But when she knew how to walk she knew
how to bring the house down
Can't blame her for her beauty
She wins with her hands down

Jezebel, what a belle
Looks like a princess in her new dress
How did you get that?
Do you really want to know she said
It would seem she's on her way
It's more, more than just a dream
She put on her stockings and shoes
had nothing to lose - she said it was worth it

Reach for the top
and the sun is gonna shine
Every winter was a war she said
I want to get what's mine

Jezebel, Jezebel
won't try to deny where she came from
You can see it in her pride
and the raven in her eyes
Try show her a better way
she'll say you don't know what you've been missing
and by the time she blinks you know she won't be listening

Reach for the top she said
and the sun is gonna shine
Every winter was a war she said
I want to get what's mine

I could aim
but I could not fire
Got a bullet to spare
to kill my desire

Who's calling the shots
One of us must make the peace
To have or to have not
The fire has got to cease

I'm loaded
don't know where to point this thing
It's a sin
how we hit where it hurts

Who's calling the shots
One of us (one of us) must end this masquerade
To have or to have not
Let's heal the wounds that we've made

It's a war of the hearts (It's a war of the hearts)
It's a war of the hearts

Got a bullet to spare, don't wanna send it your way

Who's calling the shots
One of us (one of us) must make the peace
To have or to have not
The fire has got to cease

It's a war of the hearts (It's a war of the hearts)
It's a war of the hearts

I'm loaded
don't know where to point this thing
(It's a sin) it's a sin
how we hit where it hurts (how we hit where it hurts)

One of us (one of us)
got to end this masquerade
got to heal the wounds that we've made
I've got a bullet to spare
don't wanna send it your way
If you wanna end it
If you wanna end it just say

It's a war of the hearts (It's a war of the hearts)
It's a war of the hearts
(got to end this masquerade)

I've got a bullet to spare
and we don't wanna send it your way
If you wanna end it (It's a...)
If you wanna end it (war of the...)
just say (hearts)

It's a war of the hearts
It's a war of the hearts
It's a war of the hearts

He don't care
where he's been playing
He doesn't hear
a word she's saying
She's a fancy girl
so why's she staying
Hanging on for mr. wrong

He doesn't show her that he needs her
She doesn't know his love's a liar
She's a fancy girl - got to be strong
Say so long - Mr. Wrong
Bye bye

Get out on your own girl
Show him how
you can be strong girl
You don't need him now
Run away, pretty girl
Say so long - Mr. Wrong
Run away
Bye bye

Blue is the colour of the red sky
Will he, will he come home tonight
Blue is the colour that she feels inside
Matador I can't hide my fear anymore

Azul es el color del rojo cielo
Volvera, volvera a mi esta noche
Azul es el color que siente a dentro
Matador no puedo esconder mi temor

Can she tame the beast that is her fear
Puede domar la fiera que es su temor
Waiting for her matador
Will they bring the bad news

Blue is the colour that she feels inside
Matador I can't hide my fear anymore

Azul es el color del rojo cielo
Volvera, volvera a mi esta noche
Azul es el color que siente a dentro
Matador no puedo esconder mi temor

If I tell you
If I tell you now
Will you keep on
Will you keep on loving me
If I tell you
If I tell you how I feel
Will you keep bringing out the best in me

You give me, you give me the sweetest taboo
You give me, you're giving me the sweetest taboo
Too good for me

There's a quiet storm
and it never felt like this before
There's a quiet storm
that is you
There's a quiet storm
and it never felt this hot before
Giving me something that's taboo
(Sometimes I think you're just too good for me)

You give me the sweetest taboo
That's why I'm in love with you (with you)
You give me the sweetest taboo
too good for me
(Sometimes I think you're just too good for me)

I'd do anything for you, I'd stand out in the rain
Anything you want me to do, don't let it slip away
There's a quiet storm
and it never felt like this before
There's a quiet storm
I think it's you
There's a quiet storm
and i never felt this hot before
Giving me something that's taboo

You give me the (you give me, you give me the) sweetest taboo
That's why i'm in love with you (with you)
You give me, keep giving me the sweetest taboo
Too good for me

You've got the biggest heart
Sometimes i think you're just too good for me
Every day is christmas, and every night is new year's eve
Will you keep on loving me
Will you keep on, will you keep on
Bringing out the best in me

Good times they come and they go
Never going to know
What fate is going to blow
Your way just hope that it feels right
Sometimes it comes and it goes
You take it ever so slow
and then you lose it, then it flows right to you

So we rely on the past
Special moments that last
Were they as tender as we dare to remember
Such a fine time as this
What could equal the bliss
The thrill of the first kiss
It'll blow right to you

It's never as good as the first time
Never as good as the first time

Good times they come and they go
Never going to know
It's like the weather
One day chicken next day feathers
The rose we remember
The thorns we forget
We'd love and leave
We never spend a minute on regret

It is a possibility
the more we know the less we see
Second time, second time is not quite what it seems
Natural as the way we came to be
Second time won't live up to the dream

It's never as good as the first time
Never as good as the first time

Natural as the way we came to be
Second time won't live up to the dream
Natural as the way we came to be
Second time is not quite what it seemed

It's never
as good as the first time
As the first time (never as good as the first time)
The first time

Natural as the way we came to be
Second time won't live up to the dream
Natural as the way we came to be
Second time is not quite what it seemed

It's never
as good as the first time
As the first time (never as good as the first time)
The first time
