Lovers and best friends   Are just examples of   Heroes and villains   In an opera   Maybe I'm cynical but   It seems like it's never enough   Fake conversations, negotiations   Never letting up      I know you know   So let's build an Ivory Tower   That will hide, back-up   And will shelter both of us   And suffer all the wars we have to fight   Cos love isn't always right      Trouble with feeling   Seems like it's all just a game   Puzzled, defeating   And always the same   Excellent beginnings   Kisses, tenderness   Terrible endings   Players defending   The hits and the misses      I know you know   So lets build an Ivory Tower   That will hide, back-up   And shelter both of us   And stand through all the wars we have to fight   Cos love isn't always right      Sad but right   Sad and…      I know what happens   When you've got a story to tell   And no one is understanding   No one will give you a chance   I know they don't believe you   I know      I know you know   So let's build an Ivory Tower   That will hide, back-up   And will shelter both of us   And suffer all the wars we have to fight   Cos love isn't all I know   You know   So let's build an Ivory Tower   That will hide, back-up   And shelter both of us   And suffer all the wars we have to fight   Cos love isn't always right      It's sad but right
