Innuendo

No one here Venus and Mars And a skyful of stars It's been a slo-mo year A few stolen kisses And several near misses I wait (wish my mission was clearer) For the cherub's arrow Hesitate (one last look in the mirror) My lappels are narrow Down the stairs and hit the street The bravado's just pretend though And the chic spot where we met Is called Innuendo You and I Birds of a feather We ought to know better We're cool and shy Love is outrageous But highly contagious We wait (while our salads are dressing) For the cherub's arrow You look great (cappuccino compressing) To Ravel's Bolero It would surely be a shame If the evening had to end though We're both masters of the game Known as Innouendo If you believe in love Prepare for stormy weather Guess I should heed my own advice I can't believe that love Would bring us back together 'Cause lighting never strikes the same place twice Candlelight And saying "I've missed you" Confuses the issue This summer night The cabdriver chuckles We smell honeysuckle Too late (guess the poison got stronger) It's the cherub's arrow We can't wait (to make love any longer) Guess it's now or never And this happiness we feel As we move to the crescendo Makes the dialogue all real Not just innuendo No more innuendo
