  • Tell ya 'bout this lady

    Such tender eyes, such a sweet believer, the story never lies
    When I found you girl, you were so far down, a black cat in disguise

    How in the world could it come to this
    Couldn't you see that you'd gone too far
    Saving your soul for that one last kiss
    Living your wish upon a star

    Madalaine, this is love too tough to tame
    Madalaine, beware of the girl, beware of the pain

    Running scared through the dark of the day, the story never dies
    But the names keep changin' and the faces fade, take you dead or alive

    How in the world could it come to this
    Couldn't you see that you'd gone too far
    Saving your soul for that one last kiss
    Living your wish upon a star

    Madalaine, this is love too tough to tame
    Madalaine, beware of the girl, beware of the pain

    All your glory was left like an angry child
    Waiting to take your luck away
    But you can't see you're still running wild
    Oh Madalaine, now don't run away from me

    Madalaine, this is love too tough to tame
    Madalaine, beware of the girl, beware of the pain

    Madalaine, this is love too tough to tame, too tough to tame...
