"Amelita" lyrics

"Amelita"

Amelita, come to see ya
And I finally now know the truth
Oh I found you in your costume
And the comb in your hair is the proof

Am I right, Amelita?
You just stand there with nothing to say
While they watch you play Lolita
So I've come here to take you away

Oh they lured you, and we lost you
When he promised to make you a star
Oh he fooled you, and it cost you
And the age on your face shows the scars

Oh my good friend, I can see you
As a young girls with stars in her eyes
What a beauty, such a dancer
Now you lay out your heart like a prize

Have you no pride?
You've got the rest of your life

I take your hand, let's go tonight
Just leave it all, I promise you'll be fine
Across the bridge the lights of town
You smile and then you turn around and run
You run... Amelita

Have you no pride?
You've got the rest of your life

Where have you gone my friend
Then light in your eyes is gone, gone, gone

I take your hand, let's go tonight
Just leave it all I promise you'll be fine
Across the bridge the lights of town
You smile, and turn around and run... Amelita

Have you no pride?
You've got the rest of your life

I take your hand, let's go tonight
Just leave it all, I promise you'll be fine
Across the bridge the lights of town
You smile and then you turn around and run
You run Amelita

Have you no pride?
You've got the rest of your life

Have you no pride?

Hey yeah, yeah yeah
