Eyes of black and skin so white She moves so easily in through the night You feel her power, she takes yours away With your heart and soul you'll give her anything she says, Mother tell son, "only true love waits" But he won't hear the warning till it's far too late And mama says...
Desiree will break your heart Her rhythm and blues will tear you all apart, son Desiree will break your heart And you can't kick the habit once she makes it start, son She's the one who practiced the art She's gonna break your heart
Silhouette against a fading sky Queen of the fools, all prepared to die She whispers magic, she smiles a dream You think it must be love but it ain't what it seems Miles from nowhere with no place to stay She'll leave you stranded all alone out on the lost highway And mama says...
Desiree will break your heart Her rhythm and blues will tear you all apart, son Desiree will break your heart And you can't kick the habit once she makes it start, son She's the one who practiced the art She's gonna break your heart
The wind cries, a girl's voice sings You turn to see her, but don't find a thing Ain't nothing left but your foolish desire And the cold all around will not cool this fire Mother tell son, "for true love you must wait" But he won't hear the warning until it's far too late And mama says...
Desiree will break your heart Her rhythm and blues will tear you all apart, son Desiree will break your heart And you can't kick the habit once she makes it start, son She's the one who practiced the art She's gonna break your heart
Desiree will break your heart Her rhythm and blues will tear you all apart, son Desiree will break your heart And you can't kick the habit once she makes it start, son
