another girl s paradise

Tori Amos

You caught me lingering
In another girl's paradise
The way she paints the world
I want that in my life
Emeralds, you should know
Are renting in her meadow
With a stroke beauty lives
How could I resist?
You are Desire

When it all is said
Said and done
Who can love you and still be standing?
There's Mary calling up a storm
Can I take from you and not keep taking?
Naked as day
Gemma follows him
Does it all come down to the thing
One girl fears in the night?
Is another girl's paradise

Through twists and turns
Jasmine foxed me in her grove
Arms filled with honey-bells
St. Michaels Sanford Bloods
"You have come to discover what you want."
What I want is not to want what isn't mine
"But I am Desire."

When it all is said
Said and done
Who can love you and still be standing?
There's Mary calling up a storm
Can I take from you and not keep taking?
Naked as day
Gemma follows him
Does it all come down to the thing
One girl fears in the night?
Is another girl's paradise

And I know you keep telling me
Does it all come down to the thing
One girl fears in the night?
Is another girl
Is another girl
Is another girl's paradise
