Cowboys And Angels lyrics

When your heart's in someone else's hands,

Monkey see and monkey do; their wish is your command.

You're not to blame;

Everyone's the same.

All you do is love, and love is all you do;

I should know by now, the way I fought for you.

You're not to blame;

Everyone's the same.

I know you think that you're safe!

Mister Harmless Deception that keeps love at bay...

It's the ones who resist

That we most want to kiss,

Wouldn't you say?

Cowboys and angels,

They all have the time for you.

Why should I imagine

That I'd be a find for you?

Why should I imagine

That I'd have something to say?

But that scar on your face,

That beautiful face of yours...

In your heart, there's a trace

Of someone before.

When your heart's in someone else's plans,

Things you say and things you do, they don't understand!

It's such a shame;

Always ends the same.

You can call it love, but I don't think it's true;

You should know by now I'm not the boy for you.

You're not to blame!

Always ends the same.

I know you think that you're safe!

Sister Harmless Affection that keeps things this way...

It's the ones who persist

For the sake of a kiss

Who will pay.

Cowboys and angels,

They all take a shine to you.

Why should I imagine

That I was designed for you?

Why should I imagine

That you would stay?

But that scar on your face,

That beautiful face of yours...

Don't you think that I know

They've hurt you before?

Take this man to your bed;

Maybe his hands will help you to forget.

Please be stronger than your past!

The future may still give you a chance...
