(I'll Never Be) Maria Magdalena

(album: The Long Play - 1985)

You take my love
You want my soul
I would be crazy to share your life
Why can't you see what I am?
Sharpen your senses and turn the knife
Hurt me and you'll understand

I'll never be Maria Magdalena
(You're a creature of the night)
Maria Magdalena
(You're a victim of the fight, you need love)
Promise me delight
(You need love)
I'll never be Maria Magdalena
(You're a creature of the night)
Maria Magdalena
(You're a victim of the fight, you need love)
Promise me delight
(You need love)
[x2]

Why must I lie?
Find alibis?
When will you wake up and realize
I can't surrender to you?
Play for affection and win the prize?
I know those party games too

I'll never be Maria Magdalena
(You're a creature of the night)
Maria Magdalena
(You're a victim of the fight, you need love)
Promise me delight
(You need love)
I'll never be Maria Magdalena
(You're a creature of the night)
Maria Magdalena
(You're a victim of the fight, you need love)
Promise me delight
(You need love)

Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh

I'll never be Maria Magdalena
(You're a creature of the night)
Maria Magdalena
(You're a victim of the fight, you need love)
Promise me delight
(You need love)
I'll never be Maria Magdalena
(You're a creature of the night)
Maria Magdalena
(You're a victim of the fight, you need love)
Promise me delight
(You need love)
