Desireé

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 tells son, "only true love waits"

But he won't hear the warning till it's far too late

And mama said ...

Desirée will break your heart

Her rhythm and blues will tear you all apart, son

Desirée will break your heart

And you can't kick the habit once she makes it start, son

She's the one who'll break your heart

She's gonna break your heart

Silhouette against a faded sky

Queen of the fools, all prepared to die

She whispers magic, she smiles a dream

You think it must be love, but it ain't what it seems

Miles from nowhere, no place to stay

She'll leave you stranded on the lost highway

And mama said ...

Desirée will break your heart

Her rhythm and blues will tear you all apart, son

Desirée 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

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 you won't cool the fire

Mother tells son, "for true love you must wait"

But they don't hear the warning until it's far too late

And mama said ...

Desirée will break your heart

Her rhythm and blues will tear you all apart, son

Desirée will break your heart

But you can't kick the habit once she makes it start

She's the one who practiced the art

She's gonna break your heart

Desirée 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 gets her start, son

Well, Desirée will break your heart
