Innuendo Lyrics - Singles - Michael Franks

No one here 

Venus and Mars 

And a skyful of stars 

It's been a slo-mo year 

A few stolen kisses 

And several near misses 

I wait (wish my mission was clearer) 

For the cherub's arrow 

Hesitate (one last look in the mirror) 

My lappels are narrow 

Down the stairs and hit the street 

The bravado's just pretend though 

And the chic spot where we met 

Is called Innuendo 

You and I 

Birds of a feather 

We ought to know better 

We're cool and shy 

Love is outrageous 

But highly contagious 

We wait (while our salads are dressing) 

For the cherub's arrow 

You look great (cappuccino compressing) 

To Ravel's Bolero 

It would surely be a shame 

If the evening had to end though 

We're both masters of the game 

Known as Innouendo 

If you believe in love 

Prepare for stormy weather 

Guess I should heed my own advice 

I can't believe that love 

Would bring us back together 

'Cause lighting never strikes the same place twice 

Candlelight 

And saying "I've missed you" 

Confuses the issue 

This summer night 

The cabdriver chuckles 

We smell honeysuckle 

Too late (guess the poison got stronger) 

It's the cherub's arrow 

We can't wait (to make love any longer) 

Guess it's now or never 

And this happiness we feel 

As we move to the crescendo 

Makes the dialogue all real 

Not just innuendo 

No more innuendo
