Songtext Masquerade Bananarama

Masquerade

Somewhere in the night, she'll look into your eyes
And tell you what you want to hear
She'll wrap herself around you like a spider's web
When you're least expecting it

Play on the strings of your heart, your heart
Don't even know who you are 'cause you are

Living a masquerade (A masquerade), don't let the stardust fade away
'Cause you can be who you want to be
Living a masquerade (A masquerade), don't say we're all the same
You can be what you want to be, c'est magnifique

In the quiet of the night those thoughts return to spite
Deluxe and then delightful
When you strip it all away, je suis désolé
Life is just a mystery

I am the queen of hearts, your heart
Now show me who you are 'cause you are

Living a masquerade (A masquerade), don't let the stardust fade away
'Cause you can be who you want to be
Living a masquerade (A masquerade), don't say we're all the same
You can be what you want to be, c'est magnifique, c'est fantastique

I can be your queen of hearts if you show me who you are
On white horses we can ride, disappear into the night

Living a masquerade (A masquerade), don't let the stardust fade away
'Cause you can be who you want to be (Promise me)
Living a masquerade (A masquerade), don't say we're all the same
You can be what you want to be, c'est magnifique (A masquerade)

I can be your queen of hearts if you show me who you are
On white horses we can ride, disappear into the night
I can be your queen of hearts if you show me who you are
On white horses we can ride, disappear into the night
