I Was An Eagle |
| So your grandmother sounds to me |
| A woman I would be proud to be |
| And you say she reminds you of me |
| Every little boy is so naïve |
| I will not be a victim of romance |
| I will not be a victim of circumstance |
| Chance or circumstance or romance, or |
| Any man who could get his dirty little hands on me |
| Oh, oh |
| No, oh |
| So your grandfather sounds like me |
| Head up, shoulders back, and proud to be |
| Every little girl is so naïve |
| Falling in love with the first man she sees |
| I will not be a victim of romance |
| I will not be a victim of circumstance |
| Chance or circumstance or romance, or |
| Any man who could get his dirty little hands on me |
| Oh, oh |
| No, oh |
| When we were in love (if we were) |
| When we were in love |
| I was an eagle |
| And you were a dove |
| Today I’ll feel something other than regret |
| Pass me a glass and a half-smoked cigarette |
| I’ve damn near got no dignity left |
| I’ve damn near got no dignity left |
| I will not be a victim of romance |
| I will not be a victim of circumstance |
| Chance or circumstance or romance, or |
| Any man who could get his dirty little hands on me |
| Oh, oh |
| No, oh |
| When we were in love (if we were) |
| When we were in love |
| I was an eagle |
| And you were a dove |
| When we were in love (if we were) |
| When we were in love |
| You were a dove |
| And I rose above you and preyed |
