  • She knew her love o she new too well
    From every little hell it was hard to tell
    Lips like lace and eyes like rolling dice
    With a face like ice but a heart like shell

    O here she comes, heart so young
    Words of fleeting love roll of her young tongue
    She can't tell between right and wrong
    And her mama doesn't even know where she came from

    She tried her best but it was all in vein
    Wherever she went she was causing pain
    She broke the heart of every man she met
    And to everyone this is what she'd say

    O here she comes
    A heart so wow
    She walks like a women
    But speaks like a child
    She's got very very very last century style
    And she stares at every man
    But she says it with a smile
    You are the one but the rising sun will brew to her dismay
    But her love only lasts for just one day

    So up and down it was hard to take
    And a trail of hearts lay in her wake
    She knew that one day this would have to stop
    There was only one way she could end on top
    She said 'ooo my darling', and drew a cross upon her chest
    And went to the egde of waterloo bridge
    And someone heard her say
    If my love only lasts for just one day I hold my heart and slowly sink away Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
