Teardrops In My Eyes

New



Just like the bird of paradise

Your eyes disguise the colors of the rainbow

Angel of the alleyways

Tonight I swear it's you making the streetlamp glow



Leather and lace on you tonight

The smile on your face says you feel all right

You make my old car look fast

The way you lean against the fender

I'm about to fall, you're standing there

In all of your barbaric splendor



Just like the rose of Harlem

You're a darling flower up around the [?]

Though I know you grew up wild

Out of style, a child to you, I'll make my pleasure



Well Fashion turns my heart to stone

But fashion turns you to the bone

If you run with me, you'll see

I can be tough, I can be tender

I'm about to fall, you're standing there

In all of your barbaric splendor



Just like the road in silence

There's a violence in your smoky stolen glances

Your promises so primitive

To love and live with you is taking chances



So let the lion roar till dawn

We'll learn this dream with walking on

You started up a rumble in my heart

Took my mind off on a [menu]

I'm about to fall, you're standing there

In all of your barbaric splendor

I'm about to fall, you're standing there

In all of your barbaric splendor
