CHAKA KHAN - Lilah lyrics

rate me

I can see the light in the window

Faded Jag is parked in the drive

As we left it, love was the question

Not just a good time

She's the type who begs to go slowly

Leads me on in the sneakiest ways

But somehow she'd rather be lonely

Love's a big game

Lilah

Cover your tracks

Like a liar

Knowing inside you're on fire

What's gonna happen to you?

CHORUS:

Some say holdin' on gets in the way

Some say better not learn how to stay

Can't you listen to what your heart's trying to say?

Lilah

Attitude is making the rounds now

Blondie tells her just what to wear

Thinks she's cool, she's running the town now

But she's nowhere

Blame it on the heart of the moment

Does she really know what she needs?

One on one is her main opponent

When will she see?

Lilah

Tell me, will love ever find her?

Dreams are still running behind her

What's gonna happen to you?

CHORUS

All the lovers that call you friend

Think they can stay until the end

But I'll be there dancin' all through the night

And they'll be gone before the light

Oh baby, baby just make your move

'Cause if you love you just can't lose

Oh baby when will you see

That this is the way for you and me?
