Libertine

(album: Utopia - 1982)

When she walked in the room
You could faint from her strong perfume
And she said her name was Libertine
In my ear, a voice said, "Don't be a fool, stay clear
Better stay away from Libertine"

Stay away from Libertine
Stay away from Libertine
Stay away from Libertine

So I stayed out of view
But my eyes couldn't come unglued
I was hypnotized by Libertine
So in time I broke down and I lost my mind
Then I made a move on Libertine

Stay away from Libertine
Made a move on Libertine
Stay away from Libertine
I made my move on Libertine

And I waited all night 'til the timing was right
For another man was reaching for her hand
But he went to the phone and when I got her alone
It just wasn't the same, tell me what's in a name?

She made me drunk with her charms
Then she left on her husband's arm
And I got the shaft from Libertine
I was weak and I know just from whence I speak
Better stay away from Libertine

Stay away from Libertine
Stay away from Libertine
Stay away from Libertine
Stay away from Libertine
