WHEN I FIRST SAW YVONNE, VOLCANOES ERUPTED
|
AND HER LAUGHTER FLOWED INTO MY LIFE.
|
SHE SEEMED SO RIGHT, NOTHING WRONG,
|
EVERYTHING ABOUT HER WAS SO STRONG
|
SO WAITING FOR THE MAGIC TO START,
|
SOMEBODY TOUCHED ME DEEP IN MY HEART.
|
|
YVONNE'S THE ONE I'VE BEEN DREAMING OFF.
|
SHE SAID, HOLD ON,
|
YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY ONE,
|
AND SO I SAID, YOU'RE WRONG, YVONNE.
|
|
WHEN I SAW HER AGAIN, I WAS CAUGHT IN A LANDSLIDE
|
BUT I DIDN'T DARE LET IT SHOW.
|
HER RUBY LIPS WERE TEASING ME
|
BUT JEALOUSY WOULD NEVER LET US BE,
|
SO WAITING FOR THE MAGIC TO START,
|
WE KNOW IT'S GONNA TEAR US APART.
|
|
YVONNE'S THE ONE I'VE BEEN DREAMING OFF.
|
SHE SAID, HOLD ON,
|
YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY ONE,
|
AND SO I SAID, YOU'RE WRONG, YVONNE.
|
|
SHE'LL NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH I LOVED HER,
|
I NEVER GOT TO TELL.
|
WE NEVER GOT A CHANCE TO SAY FAREWELL,
|
|
WHEN I LAST SAW YVONNE
|
SHE WAS COVERED IN ROSES,
|
BUT THE ? GONE FROM HER EYES.
|
SHE WALKED SO TALL, SHE LOOKED SO GRAND
|
BUT EV'RYTHING ABOUT HER COULD BE PLANNED
|
BUT WHAT YOU GET IS NOT WHAT YOU SEE .
|
SO LONG YVONNE, YOU'RE NOT FOOLING ME
|
|
YVONNE'S THE ONE I'VE BEEN COUNTING ON,
|
SHE SAID, HOLD ON,
|
YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY ONE,
|
AND SO I SAID, SO LONG, YVONNE.
|
|
YVONNE'S THE ONE I'VE BEEN COUNTING ON,
|
SHE SAID, HOLD ON,
|
YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY ONE.
|
YVONNE'S THE ONE I'VE BEEN COUNTING ON,
|
SHE SAID, HOLD ON,
|
YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY ONE,
|
AND SO I SAID, SO LONG, YVONNE.
|
|
YVONNE'S THE ONE I'VE BEEN COUNTING ON,
|
SHE SAID, HOLD ON,
|
YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY ONE.
