lyrics

Venus de Milo

Watch out for beauty
somebody said
when the world's at your feet
it'll go to your head
I told myself
look inside instead
Then you come around


Watch out for sorrow
dressed in disguise
I've come this far so
you think I'd be wise
and look in your heart
and not in your eyes
when you come around


Venus de Milo
it's out of my hands
all that I've seen
is all I can stand
you're comin' home late
with your arms still 'round
some other man

Didn't I know?
Didn't I know?
Venus De Milo


Each time I see you
I know what to say
It's right on my tongue
I rehearsed it all day
See, I've got my pride
and I won't live this way
Then you come around

And what kind of goddess
are you s'posed to be?
to scatter your love
like the winds on the sea
The ships on the bottom
they call out to me
When you come around
And you come around

Venus de Milo
it's out of my hands
all that I've seen
is all I can stand
You're comin' home late
with your arms still 'round
some other man

Venus de Milo
all I can do
is try to believe
what'll never be true
that there'll come a day
when I'll be holding all of you

Didn't I know?
Didn't I know?
Venus De Milo
