Affairs of the Heart - Damian "Jr. Gong" Marley

Make sure nobody sees you leave Hood over your head, keep your eyes down Tell your friends you're out for a run You'll be flushed when you return Take the road less traveled by Tell yourself you can always stop What started in beautiful rooms Ends with meetings in parking lots And that's the thing about illicit affairs And clandestine meetings and longing stares It's born from just one single glance But it dies, and it dies, and it dies A million little times Leave the perfume on the shelf That you picked out just for him So you leave no trace behind Like you don't even exist Take the words for what they are A dwindling, mercurial high A drug that only worked The first few hundred times And that's the thing about illicit affairs And clandestine meetings and stolen stares They show their truth one single time But they lie, and they lie, and they lie A million little times And you wanna scream Don't call me "kid" Don't call me "baby" Look at this godforsaken mess that you made me You showed me colors You know I can't see with anyone else Don't call me "kid" Don't call me "baby" Look at this idiotic fool that you made me You taught me a secret language I can't speak with anyone else And you know damn well For you, I would ruin myself A million little times

I walked down to Notre-Dame To say a prayer for Bataclan I miss the city on the Seine As though French blood was in my veins Went to the Louvre, could spend hours Went to the top of the Eiffel Tower Heard the Marseillaise in troubled times The way you sang for me, blew my mind Music is the language of my heart The language of your heart Together, we are strong The music is the bridge into your heart No matter where we go No matter where we are Felt Édith's spirit in the bar Of the very famous Olympia Rocked out like Johnny, Johnny Hallyday They will never ever fade away Music is the language of my heart The language of your heart Together, we are strong The music is the bridge into your heart No matter where we go No matter where we are Allez-vous bien? Do you speak French? Oh, well, I don't Pardon, my friend But there is one thing that is true Just let me tell you, mes amis I'm still loving you

Are we awake? Am I too old to be this stoned? Was it your breasts from the start? They played a part For goodness' sake I wasn't told you'd be this cold Now it's my time to depart, and I just had a change of heart I'll quote "On the road" like a twat And wind my way out of the city Finding a girl who is equally pretty won't be hard Oh, I just had a change of heart You smashed a glass into pieces That's around the time I left And you were coming across as clever Then you lit the wrong end of your cigarette You said, I'm full of diseases Your eyes were full of regret And then you took a picture of your salad And put it on the Internet Then she said, "I've been so worried about you lately" "You look shit and you smell a bit" "You're mad thinking you could ever save me" "Not looking like that" You used to have a face straight out of a magazine Now you just look like anyone I just had a change of heart I feel as though I was deceived I never found love in the city I just sat in self-pity and cried in the car Oh, I just had a change of heart Then she said, "I've been so worried 'bout you lately" "You were fit but you're losing it" "You played a part, this is how it starts" Oh, I just had a change of heart (I just had a change of heart) (I just had a change of heart) (I just had a change of heart) Oh, I just had a change of heart (I just had a change of heart) (I just had a change of heart) (I just had a change of heart) (I just had a change of heart)

Three, four (Turn around) Every now and then I get a little bit lonely When you're never coming 'round (Turn around) Every now and then I get a little bit tired Of listening to the sound of my tears (Turn around) Every now and then I get a little bit nervous That the best of all the years have gone by (Turn around) Every now and then I get a little bit terrified Then I see the look in your eyes (Turn around, bright eyes) But every now and then I fall apart (Turn around, bright eyes) Every now and then I fall apart (Turn around) Every now and then I get a little bit restless When I dream of something wild (Turn around) Every now and then I get a little bit helpless I'm lying like a child in your arms (Turn around) Every now and then I get a little bit angry And I know I've got to get out and cry (Turn around) Every now and then I get a little bit terrified Then I see the look in your eyes (Turn around, bright eyes) But every now and then I fall apart (Turn around, bright eyes) Every now and then I fall apart And I need you now tonight And I need you more than ever If you only hold me tight We'll be holding on forever And we'll only be making it right 'Cause we'll never be wrong Together we can take it to the end of the line Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time (all of the time) I don't know what to do, and I'm always in the dark Living in a powder keg and giving off sparks I really need you tonight Forever's gonna start tonight Forever's gonna start tonight Once upon a time I was falling in love Now I'm only falling apart And there's nothing I can do A total eclipse of the heart Once upon a time there was light in my life Now there's only love in the dark Nothing I can say A total eclipse of the heart (Turn around, bright eyes) (Turn around, bright eyes) (Turn around) Every now and then I know you'll never be the boy You always wanted to be (Turn around) Every now and then I know you'll always be the only one Who wanted me the way that I am (Turn around) Every now and then I know there's no one in the universe As magical and wondrous as you (Turn around) Every now and then I know there's nothing any better Nothing that I just wouldn't do (Turn around, bright eyes) But every now and then I fall apart (Turn around, bright eyes) Every now and then I fall apart And I need you now tonight And I need you more than ever And if you only hold me tight We'll be holding on forever And we'll only be making it right 'Cause we'll never be wrong Together we can take it to the end of the line Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time (all of the time) I don't know what to do I'm always in the dark Living in a powder keg and giving off sparks I really need you tonight Forever's gonna start tonight Forever's gonna start Once upon a time I was falling in love Now I'm only falling apart There's nothing I can do A total eclipse of the heart Once upon a time there was light in my life Now there's only love in the dark Nothing I can say A total eclipse of the heart Total eclipse of the heart A total eclipse of the heart Turn around, bright eyes Turn around

Born of cold and winter air and mountain rain combining This icy force, both foul and fair, has a frozen heart worth mining So cut through the heart, cold and clear Strike for love and strike for fear See the beauty, sharp and clear Split the ice apart, and break the frozen heart Hup! Ho! Watch your step! Let it go! Hup! Ho! Watch your step! Let it go! Beautiful, powerful, dangerous, cold Ice has a magic can't be controlled Stronger than one, stronger than ten Stronger than a hundred men, ha Born of cold and winter air and mountain rain combining This icy force, both foul and fair, has a frozen heart worth mining Cut through the heart, cold and clear Strike for love and strike for fear There's beauty and there's danger here Split the ice apart, beware the frozen heart

The future's under fire The past is gaining ground A continuous cold war between My home and my hometown I was destined to die dreaming When one day, my best friend With passion and pure provocation Summoned me and said "You can't condemn your love To linger here and die Can't leave your dreams to chance Or to a spirit in the sky May your heart always be ardent Your conscience always clear And succumb to the city and surrender, baby I'll be waiting here" And it got me all fired up To go far away And make some music from the sound of my singing, baby (Oh oh, oh oh) And it got me all fired up To go far away And make some music from the sound of my singing, baby (Oh oh, oh oh) So I left my home And all I had I used to be good but now I'm bad It was last call at my local And I stalled saying goodbye So the girl behind the bar came over And she took me aside She kissed me like a chorus, said "Give 'em hell for us The last drink of the night, last night in town Baby, this one is on the house" And it got me all fired up To go far away And make some music from the sound of my singing, baby (Oh oh, oh oh) And it got me all fired up To go far away And make some music from the sound of my singing, baby (Oh oh, oh oh) So I left my home And all I had I used to be good but now I'm bad It was bedlam in my bed that night And like a silent scream My body broke out in a sweat From seeing you in dreams You called out to me I sang back to you And all I remember was the sound of it being Like all hell breaking loose And it got me all fired up To go far away And make some music from the sound of my singing, baby (Oh oh, oh oh) And it got me all fired up To go far away And make some music from the sound of my singing, baby (Oh oh, oh oh) So I left my home And all I had I used to be good but now I'm bad
