Assassin Of Love
(Willy DeVille)
She's got a heart of stone that cares for nobody
Lips as sweet as cherry wine
And you're addicted so very quickly
You just have to look into her eyes
She's an assassin of love
She's an assassin of love
You need her in your waking hours
You call her name all through the night
Sorrow is your constant companion
An empty heart with nothing left to fight
She's an assassin of love
Just an assassin of love
What's happened to you
Do you remember
The memory has gotten dim
Look all around you
You've been swallowed
Too weak to fight as you're drawn in
Like a moth oh so truly
To a flame it closely flies
Or a blossom opens slowly
And from the tree so quickly dies
She's an assassin of love
Just an assassin of love
