Mardi Gras

[Verse 1]

Damn she hurts the morning after

Drunk on thinking I could have her

Strung her out long like lights on a balcony

Come Wednesday, she don't care

Tuesday night I had her here

Like beads and feathers, it was heaven her hanging on me

[Chorus]

She took me for a ride, hit a new high

Throwing confetti in her green eyes

Trying like hell to hold the bell of a ball

She pulled me in a world of wonder

It's a charade trying to love her

It's like trying to save a soul from Mardi Gras

From Mardi Gras

[Verse 2]

Trashed my heart just like these streets

Her perfume's all over me

Just reminded me of a night I can't forget

She paraded me around

Swirled eyes, not I had a crown on my head till she left

Thought she'd stay, but instead

[Chorus]

She took me for a ride, hit a new high

Throwing confetti in her green eyes

Trying like hell to hold the bell of a ball

She pulled me in a world of wonder

It's a charade trying to love her

It's like trying to save a soul from Mardi Gras

From Mardi Gras

From Mardi Gras

[Bridge]

She ain't looking for love

No she's just looking for a real good time

And you can't change her weather

She's a hurricane every time

[Chorus]

She took me for a ride, hit a new high

Throwing confetti in her green eyes

Trying like hell to hold the bell of a ball

She pulled me in a world of wonder

It's a charade trying to love her

It's like trying to save a soul from Mardi Gras

From Mardi Gras

[Outro]

From Mardi Gras

From Mardi Gras
