The European Beauty

june 7th 1995
a penthouse party on the upper east side
takin' chances, exchanging glances
passions in the air
his mixtape never sounded so good
attractin' all the women like he always knew it would
but one, one stood out
and that is what this song, this song is all about
he wants to get her number
he don't even know her name
he's feeling an attraction
and hopes she feels the same
a transatlantic journey
he'll catch that first plane
love sometimes seems so easy
when dancin' in the rain
a suitcase, a ticket
it's time to depart
doesn't know what he'll find
doesn't know who she'll be
love is gonna think things through
but then that's what love's supposed to do
she doesn't really think that's true
she doesn't believe in happiness in twos
his touch is all she needs
it's a safe place, it's a safe place to be
he wants to get her number
he don't even know her name
he's feeling an attraction
and hopes she feels the same
a transatlantic journey
he'll catch that first plane
love sometimes seems so easy when you forget that name
he's looking for an answer
and finds it in her smile
she's looking for security
he'll do for a while
a european beauty
well worth a million miles
passion seems the sure thing
love is out of style
it glitters like a diamond
it draws in like the sun
she tells him that she wants him
who tells her that she's the one
a kiss, a touch, an embrace
that doesn't mean a thing
a one way love don't hurt much
when you supplied the sting
