Valentine Heart

Tanita Tikaram

If I was a Londoner, rich with complaint

Would you take me back to your house

Which is sainted with lust and the listless shade

If I could have held you once more with that light

It's nothing to you, but it keeps me alive

Like a Valentine's Day, it's a Valentine's heart, anyway



The king and the ages, they fall by the plan

It's always the tired and the ordinary man

(It's the) challenge it's funny and such

I want to see you again

I want to see you again

It's so simple and plain

But I'll come back and see you again



The lie is the angel, it doesn't exist

I tell you it's funny but you like just to twist all my words

It's a shame you're so young

My word, it's a shame I'm so dumb

I figure a house with the smoke and the fence

The people round here would be pleased

Take my word on this



I would believe just in you, just believe in you

And five days to catch me around with my ring

As I visit the friendships which meant everything to the girl

With the clown's face, to the girl with the clowns face, round here
