Scheherazade Lyrics - Madonna

He was the sultan of Samarcand 

He had a harem of dancing girls at his command 

He owned all the eye could see 

Something was wrong, he wasn't happy 

And then it happened much to his surprise 

The loveliest woman he'd ever seen 

He asked her name and she replied 

(Madonna:) Scheherazade 

She was the daughter of the grand vizier 

A real beauty with a heart of gold, she was so sincere 

She made a date with destiny 

Marry the king, make him happy

He was enchanted on their wedding night 

Just a captive under her spell 

Spending a thousand and one Arabian nights 

(Madonna:) Scheherazade 

All of his body tingled with delight 

Hearing the stories she loved to tell 

She was a vision, such a lovely sight 

(Madonna:) Scheherazade 

He made a promise on the morning star 

He would change, throw away his scimitar 

So she came to stay 

And that's the way the story goes 

Until this very day 

(Madonna:) Scheherazade 

He was enchanted on their wedding night 

Just a captive under her spell 

Spending a thousand and one Arabian nights 

(Madonna:) Scheherazade
