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
