Summer Donna - Lush Life Lyrics

I used to visit all the very gay places, those come what may places
Where one relaxes on the axis of the wheel of life,
To get the feel of life, from jazz and cocktails
All the men I knew had sad and sullen gray faces, with distingue traces
That used to be there, you could see where they'd been washed away
By too many through the day, twelve o'clock tales
Then you came along with your siren song to tempt me to madness
I knew all the while that your poignant smile was tinged with the sadness
Of a great love for me, oh yes,
I was wrong, again, I was wrong.

Life is lonely again, and only last year, everything seemed so sure
Now life is awful again, a troughful of hearts could only be a bore
A week in Paris will ease the bite of it
All I care is to smile in spite of it

I'll forget you, I will,
While yet you are still burning inside my brain
Romance is mush, stifling those who strive
I'll live a lush life in some small dive
And there I'll be, while I rot with the rest
Of those whose lives are lonely too ...

Why must I be alone
Don't wanna be alone
Say it baby
Please stay stay stay
Say you will say you will say you will
I need ya say it baby lie to me
Ooh say say ya lie
