She looked at me across the room   Emerging from a silk cocoon   Along beneath venetian chandeliers   Against the moon her body rocks   Her eyes were cunning like a fox   The wings of passion fly on all frontiers      From this fire theres no returning   No escape your heart is burning   Love becomes a lethal weapon   No one is to smart   In affairs of the heart      Now upon the bridge she waits   Dreaming of our tangled fates   Her face was like a ghost with eyes of jade   I fell just like a falling star   A victim of this coup detat   I could not see behind this masquerade      From this fire theres no returning   No escape your heart is burning   Love becomes a leathal weapon   Be careful where you start   In affairs of the heart      Sometimes I think Ill never learn   Were all those promises in vain   Do the wings of fire still remain      All is fair in love and war   The tender draw the shortest straw   Like autumn leaves they vanish in the air   Is this the time we say good-bye   I call her room theres no reply   Tonight we end this fleeting love affair      From this fire theres no returning   No escape your heart is burning   Love becomes a leathal weapon   Sharper than a dart   In affairs of the heart
