In the sky the birds are pulling rain, 
In your life a curse has got a name, 
Makes you lie awake all through the night 
That's why. 
She's intoxicated by herself, 
Everyday she's seen with someone else, 
And every night she kisses someone new 
Never you. 

You're waiting in the shadows for a chance 
Because you believe at heart, that if you can, 
Show to her what love is all about 
She'll change. 
She'll talk to you with no one else around, 
But only if you're able to entertain her, 
The moment conversation stops she's gone 
Again.
