Gambling Bones - Leave The Lady Alone Lyrics

You sit around and start shooting the breeze
Can't you see she's tired and busy
She's on a business call
You want to give her some of your pearls
A life lesson at a bar counter
But in a minute she'll push you away like an annoying fly
Her decline has style

Love is just a bump in the road
Don't think about her day and night

Leave the lady alone
She's doing fine on her own
Her laughter freezes the stars
It's Venus against Mars
Her gaze will turn you to stone
Just leave the lady alone
Just leave the lady alone

Tonight you wear an old playboy's smile
Talking on a single frequency
For all her life she made a silent rise, always working against the clock
Energy of an approaching storm
In a minute she will clean everything and start again to fly
She surrenders and smiles

A second spring, the ace in the hole
Don't try to phone her day and night

Leave the lady alone
She's doing fine on her own
Her laughter freezes the stars
It's Venus against Mars
Her gaze will turn you to stone
Just leave the lady alone

Leave the lady alone
She's doing fine on her own
Her laughter freezes the stars
It's Venus against Mars
Her gaze will turn you to stone
Just leave the lady alone

She's free from the fashion, from the heels
From the men, from their glance, from the beauty, from the makeup
From the hopes, from the prayers, from the drama, from the house
From the children, from the teachers, from the diet and sex
From the husband and his friends, from the cakes, from the parties, from your hands
From you, you, you...
