Cyrano De Berger's Back

(album: See How We Are - 1987)

I got a couple words to say
For all you strong and silent types
Who don't talk to the girls they want to love
Though it means your life
I'll say this
Next time you get stuck
And the words won't come
"Your eyes are blue as the coals that burn
In your black corsage"

I'll talk for you (I'll talk for you)
Under the balcony in blue
I'll talk for you (I'll talk for you)
I'll talk for you
Cyrano de Berger's back
Cyrano de Berger's back

I'm gonna listen carefully
To what our Roxanne is gonna say
And though I love her 20 times more
I would never say
"Well, I should be the rouge and color on your cheeks"
Instead I'll just make you look good
And be so discreet

I got ten arms for you (ten arms for you)
Ten hearts are beating true
This ain't a lie (this ain't a lie)
This ain't behind
Cyrano de Berger's back

I got ten arms for you
Under the balcony in blue
This ain't a lie
This ain't behind
Cyrano de Berger's back
Cyrano de Berger's back
