Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
Whoa
[Verse 4]
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?
[Verse 5]
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?
[Verse 6]
But that scar on your face
That beautiful face of yours
In your heart there's a trace
Of someone before
[Verse 7]
When your heart's in someone else's plans
Things you say and things you do that they don't understand
You're not to blame
Always ends the same
[Verse 8]
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
[Verse 9]
Whoa
[Verse 10]
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 and pay
[Verse 11]
Cowboys and angels, they all have the time for you
Why should I imagine that I was designed for you?
Why should I believe that you would stay?
[Verse 12]
But that scar on your face
That beautiful face of yours
Don't you think that I know
They've hurt you before
[Verse 13]
Take this man to your bed
Maybe his hands could help you forget
Please be stronger than your past
The future may still give you a chance
The future, the future
Not the past
[Verse 14]
(Mister Pavel Dvořák)
[Verse 15]
That scar on your face
That beautiful face of yours
Don't you think that I know
They hurt you before
