lyrics

Mystery Woman
Please explain
Why what gives you satisfaction
Causes me pain

Are you an alien?
From Venus or Mars
Cruising the strip
And dancing topless in a girly bar

You're up there on the stage
Dancin' all alone
What's a girl like you
Doing so far from home?

Mystery woman
Please explain
Why what gives you satisfaction
Causes me pain
(So much pain)

I bet you once were married
And very much in love
But all good things must come to an end
When push, when push comes to shove

Do you lie awake at night
Smoking cigarettes
If you need a change of scenery
I'm just the guy that can help you forget

Mystery woman
Please explain
Why what gives you satisfaction
Causes me pain
(So much pain)

No, you're not beautiful
And the sky ain't blue
Who am I kidding?
I'm desperately in love with you
