affairs of the heart

Lyrics

she looked at me across the room, emerging from a silk cocoon, along beneath venetian chandeliers, against the moon her body rocks, her eyes were cunning like a fox, the wings of passion fly on all frontiers, from this fire there's no returning, no escape your heart is burning, love becomes a lethal weapon, no one is to smart, in affairs of the heart, now upon the bridge she waits, dreaming of our tangled fates, her face was like a ghost with eyes of jade, i fell just like a falling star, a victim of this coup d'etat, i could not see behind this masquerade, from this fire there's no returning, no escape your heart is burning, love becomes a leathal weapon, be careful where you start, in affairs of the heart, sometimes i think i'll never learn, were all those promises in vain, do the wings of fire still remain, all is fair in love and war, the tender draw the shortest straw, like autumn leaves they vanish in the air, is this the time we say good-bye, i call her room there's no reply, tonight we end this fleeting love affair, from this fire there's no returning, no escape your heart is burning, love becomes a leathal weapon, sharper than a dart, in affairs of the heart
