King Of Hearts

(album: Hot In The Shade - 1989)

Do it

She was just 19
But in her eyes, she was old enough to know
We were caught between two city streets
Like a bad dream

We could barely survive in the world outside
Where the writing's on the wall
Still she lets me know, just can't let go
And she takes my heart away, oh

When she tells me, "I want it"
I go crazy, I need it
When she touches, I feel it
Right there in her eyes

Oh, I'm the King of Hearts, living in a fantasy
I'm the King of Hearts when she's laying next to me
Shining like a jewel tonight
Love is gonna rule tonight
Yeah, I'm gonna be the only one to be King of Hearts

Like a neon light
The shadows flash across my empty room
We could leave tonight
And save ourselves from a bad scene

When we walk on by with our heads up high
All the faces turn our way
Yeah, it's in their eyes, they realize
We can make our getaway, yeah

When she tells me, "I want it"
I go crazy, I need it
When she touches, I feel it
When she looks at me

Yeah, I'm the King of Hearts, living in a fantasy
I'm the King of Hearts when she's lying next to me
Shining like a jewel tonight
Love is gonna rule tonight
Yeah, I'm gonna be the only one to be King of Hearts

Ooh yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah

When she tells me, "I want it"
I go crazy, I need it
When she touches, I feel it
Right there in her eyes

Ooh, I'm the King of Hearts, yeah
Hey

I'm the King of Hearts when she's lying next to me
The King of Hearts, living in a fantasy
I'm the King of Hearts, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
