Love's A Prima Donna Lyrics - Steve Harley

I should say by the way that you're acting today 

I can tell by the sigh in your eye 

I can sure understand by the palm of your hand 

That you know I'm so hot I could fry 

Because I've chased you, embraced you 'n' turned round 

'n' faced you 

Crowned you the truth of my youth 

But you give me the line in the words of our time 

It's like living a stew that's what most lovers do 

It's like escaping the sun, there's nowwhere you can run 

Chorus: I believe, I believe love's a lover's honour 

I believe, I believe love's a prima donna too 

I shoulda guessed by the rest of the men that you've blessed 

I was only an eye for an eye 

But you wanted a part of my innocent heart 

I was only your ship in the night 

I shoulda knew, shoulda knew I was out just fro you 

I believe in the power of the night 

But like a fool I was had, now it's driving me mad 

I was only a prize in your libertine eyes 

I had it coming to me I was too late to see 

Chorus: I believe, I believe love's a lover's honour 

I believe, I believe love's a prima donna too 

I could fight with the might of a thief in the night 

I could kick, I could tear at your hair 

I could break you in two like a man ought to do 

But the woman I see has a right to be free 

And the woman I need is a mischievous breed 

Don't wanna live in a stew that's what most lovers do 

It's like escaping the sun, there's nowwhere you can run 

Chorus: (fade)
