Bilingual
So your grandmother sounds to me
A woman I would be proud to be
And you say she reminds you of me
Every little boy is so naive, oh
I will not be a victim of romance
I will not be a victim of circumstance
Chance or circumstance or romance, or any man
Who could get his dirty little hands on me, oh no
ย
So your grandfather sounds like me
Head up, shoulders back, and proud to be
Every little girl is so naive
Falling in love with the first man that she sees
I will not be a victim of romance
I will not be a victim of circumstance
Chance or circumstance or romance, or any man
Who could get his dirty little hands on me, oh no
ย
When we were in love, if we were
When we were in love
I was an eagle
And you were a dove
ย
Today I will feel something other than regret
Pass me a glass and a half-smoked cigarette
I've damn near got no dignity left
I've damn near got no dignity left, oh
I will not be a victim of romance
I will not be a victim of circumstance
Chance or circumstance or romance, or any man
Who could get his dirty little hands on me, oh no
ย
When we were in love, if we were
When we were in love
I was an eagle
And you were a dove
ย
When we were in love, if we were
When we were in love
You were a dove
And I rose above you and preyed
