  • Damn she hurts the morning after
    Drunk on thinking I could have her
    Strung her out long like lights on a balcony
    Come wasted, she don't care
    Tuesday night I had her here
    Like beads and feathers, it was heaven her hanging on me

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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
