She looked at me across the room
Emerging from a silk cocoon
Along beneath Venetian chandeliers
Against the moon her body rocks
Her eyes were cunning like a fox
The wings of passion fly on all frontiersFrom this fire there's no returning
No escape your heart is burning
Love becomes a lethal weapon
No one is to smart
In affairs of the heart
Haa, In affairs of the heartNow upon the bridge she waits
Dreaming of our tangled fates
Her face was like a ghost with eyes of jade
Fell just like a falling star
A victim of this coup d'etat
I could not see behind this masqueradeFrom this fire there's no returning
No escape your heart is burning
Love becomes a lethal weapon
Careful where you start
In affairs of the heart
In affairs of the heart
In affairs of the heartSometimes I think I'll never learn
Were all those promises in vain
Do the wings of fire still remainAll is fair in love and war
The tender draw the shortest straw
Like autumn leaves it vanish in the air
Is this the time we say good bye
I call her room there's no reply
Tonight we end this fleeting love affairFrom this fire there's no returning
(Aah aaa)
No escape your heart is burning
Love becomes a lethal weapon
(Aah aaa)
Sharper than a dart
In affairs of the heart
Ohh, in affairs of the heart
In affairs of the heart
(Aah aaa)
In affairs of the heart
(Aah aaa)
