COWBOYS & ANGELS

FEATURING SY SMITH
A TRIBUTE TO GEORGE MICHAELS

Music & lyrics by George Michael

When your heart's in someone else's hands

Monkey see and monkey do

Their wish is your command

You're not to blame

Everyone's the same

 

All you do is love and love is all you do

I should know by now, the way I fought for you

You're not to blame

Everyone's the same

 

I know you think that you're safe

Mister harmless deception

That keeps love at bay

It's the ones who resist that we most want to kiss

Wouldn't you say?

 

Cowboys and angels

They all have the time for you

Why should I imagine

That I'd be a find for you

Why should I imagine

That I'd have something to say

 

But that scar on your face

That beautiful face of yours

In your heart there's a trace

Of someone before

 

When your heart's in someone else's plans

Things you say and things you do

They don't understand

It's such a shame

Always ends the same

 

You can call it love but I don't think it's true

You should know by now

I'm not the girl for you

You're not to blame

Always ends the same

 

I know you think that you're safe

Mister

Harmless affection

That keeps things this way

It's the ones who persist for the sake of a kiss

Who will pay?

 

Cowboys and angels

They all take a shine to you

Why should I imagine that I was designed for you?

Why should I believe?

That you would stay

 

But that scar on your face

That beautiful face of yours

Don't you think that I know?

They've hurt you before

 

I know you think that you're safe

Mister

Harmless deception

That keeps love at bay

It's the ones who resist that we most want to kiss

Wouldn't you say?
