Silver Tanque Songtext
von Prince

Love me while you watch the time
If I falter or lose my rhyme
You will drop me like a useless dime
′Cause you ain't no friend of mine
No, no

Steered me wrong and dropped me off
From a swan dive to a bellyflop
The shallow waters that flood your heart
Will forever keep us apart

You never cease to amaze me
Though sometimes I just don′t understand
The chances you took to play your hand
But you never took my love when it was here
Ooh, oh, oh


My heart's been through it 1,000 times
Like a faded fruit upon the vine
The shiny promise that fades with time
But the seeds are sown and the hope defined
Oh

Such a sad way to lose someone
To live by "better said than better done"
Song and dance that hides your gun
From those who buy the silver
From your tongue

You never cease to amaze me
Sometimes I don't understand

Song and dance that hides your gun
From those who buy the silver
From your tongue

Oh, ooh, oh
Would you love me while you watch the time?
