Madalaine Lyrics
Winger
Lyrics
Such tender eyes,
Such a sweet believer
The story never lies
When I found you girl
You were so far down
A black cat in disguise
How in the world could it come to this
Couldn't you see that you've gone too far
Saving you soul for that one last kiss
Living you wish upon a star
Chorus:
Madalaine
This is love too tough to tame
Madalaine
Beware of the girl
Beware of the pain
Running scared
Through the dark of the day
The story never dies
But the names keep changin'
And the face fade
Take you dead or alive
How in the world could it come to this
Couldn't you see that you've gone too far
Saving you soul for that one last kiss
Living you wish upon a star
Chorus:
Madalaine
This is love too tough to tame
Madalaine
Beware of the girl
Beware of the pain
Solo
All of your glory was left like an angry child
Waiting to take your luck away
But you can't see you're still running wild
Oh Madalaine!
Now don't run away from me
Chorus:
Madalaine
This is love too tough to tame
Madalaine
Beware of the girl
Beware of the pain
