Lady Nina - 1997 Remastered Version

You pick out your credit cards
and check into the night
A dozen tequilas
and you're feeling all right
So you swim to the disco,
out of your depth jaded gigolo
Your lucky charms and tarnished so you leave alone
But there's one place left to go before the taxi home
After all, you've made your marks
One night you'll play Elizabeth Taylor
The next night you're Marilyn Monroe
Forever kissing frogs that think they're princes
Oh Lady Nina,
where did all the romance go?
Your little sister baby sits,
your husband picks you up at six
The make-up hide the bruises and the tears
so they never show
'Cause your beauty is the only thing you've ever owned
It's the only way you've ever known to make your marks
You made your marks
You made your marks
(We believe
it's for real)
Lady Nina,
I'd love to take you home with me
But I love my wife
and I love my family
I've got a good job, responsabilities
And I need to keep respect
from society
I know you'll never act with me
I know that you're in love with me
So how do I compare
to the sailors of the ships of the night?
Was I all right?
Did you come tonight,
Lady Nina?
You made your marks,
Ebony flowers pinned to a velvet cushion in a red light
And Edith Piaf sings a lullaby for the night
Just making marks, just making marks
Just making marks, just making marks
You made your marks
Ebony flowers pinned to a velvet cushion in a red light
And Edith Piaf sings a lullaby for the night
Just making marks, just making marks
You made your mark
(Just making marks)
You made your marks
(Just making marks)
