Tell ya 'bout this lady Such tender eyes, such a sweet believer, the story never lies When I found you girl, you were so far down, a black cat in disguise How in the world could it come to this Couldn't you see that you'd gone too far Saving your soul for that one last kiss Living your wish upon a star Madalaine, this is love too tough to tame Madalaine, beware of the girl, beware of the pain Running scared through the dark of the day, the story never dies But the names keep changin' and the faces fade, take you dead or alive How in the world could it come to this Couldn't you see that you'd gone too far Saving your soul for that one last kiss Living your wish upon a star Madalaine, this is love too tough to tame Madalaine, beware of the girl, beware of the pain All your glory was left like an angry child Waiting to take your luck away But you can't see you're still running wild Oh Madalaine, now don't run away from me Madalaine, this is love too tough to tame Madalaine, beware of the girl, beware of the pain Madalaine, this is love too tough to tame, too tough to tame...
