William Topley - Desire Is Sad lyrics

I look at you, I look at her with much regret Another life is strange The sinners come, with penance wet And try to force change But our fortune's set in stone She's got beauty And she's famed for being so cruel And I said I won't be too late I said I won't be too high To find out what your sweet thing wants And I said I won't be too lame I said I won't be too blind To ask her what your sweet thing wants 'Cause you may learn to your regret As I have found to mine Desire is sad You know it can be (At least is can become so) I learnt that she could say goodbye without regret And how that drives you crazy baby I learnt that she was ruder than A marmoset and almost as lazy baby She's got beauty And she's famed for being so cruel Desire is sad I look at you, I look at her with much regret Another life is strange The sinners come, with penance wet And try to force change But our fortune's set in stone She's got beauty And she's famed for being so cruel And I said I won't be too late I said I won't be too high To find out what your sweet thing wants And I said I won't be too lame I said I won't be too blind To ask her what your sweet thing wants 'Cause you may learn to your regret As I have found to mine Desire is sad You know it can be (At least is can become so) I learnt that she could say goodbye without regret And how that drives you crazy baby I learnt that she was ruder than A marmoset and almost as lazy baby She's got beauty And she's famed for being so cruel Desire is sad I look at you, I look at her with much regret Another life is strange The sinners come, with penance wet And try to force change But our fortune's set in stone She's got beauty And she's famed for being so cruel And I said I won't be too late I said I won't be too high To find out what your sweet thing wants And I said I won't be too lame I said I won't be too blind To ask her what your sweet thing wants 'Cause you may learn to your regret As I have found to mine Desire is sad You know it can be (At least is can become so) I learnt that she could say goodbye without regret And how that drives you crazy baby I learnt that she was ruder than A marmoset and almost as lazy baby She's got beauty And she's famed for being so cruel Desire is sad
