The less we love a woman Lyrics

Watch and lie, lie, lie, wait, wait, wait

The less we love a woman or a breed

The more she's drawn to us while we're free

We snare her heart so carelessly

And watch her fall so helplessly, la, la, lay

A heartless game once played with such delight

A lover's art, a passionless night

A conquest made, a triumph loud and clear

A joyless victory year after year, la, la, lay

But this old game of love so cold and deep

Is fit for those whose hearts are fast asleep

The loveliest days are gone, the distant past

With powdered wigs and pleasures that won't last, la, la, lay

But this old game of love so cold and deep

Is fit for those whose hearts are fast asleep

The loveliest days are gone, the distant past

With powdered wigs and pleasures that won't last, la, la, lay

La, la, lay
