Eyes of black and skin so white
She moves so easily in through the night
You feel her power, she takes yours away
With your heart and soul you`ll give her anything she says
Mother tell son, Only true love waits
But he won`t hear the warning till it`s far too late
And mama says...
Desiree will break your heart
Her rhythm and blues will tear you all apart, son
Desiree will break your heart
And you can`t kick the habit once she makes it start, son
She`s the one who practiced the art
She`s gonna break your heart
Silhouette against a fading sky
Queen of fools, all prepared to die
She whispers maigic, she smiles a dream
You think it must be love but it ain`t what it seems
Miles from nowhere with no place to stay
She`ll leave you stranded all alone out on the lost highway
And mama says...
[Chorus]
The wind cries, a girl`s voice sings
You turn to see her, but don`t find a thing
Ain`t nothing left but your foolish desire
And the cold all around will not cool this fire
Mother tell son, For true love you must wait
But he won`t hear the warning until it`s far too late
And mama says...
[Chorus]
