Lady Nina Lyrics

You pick out your credit cards and check into the nightA dozen tequilas and you're feeling all rightSo you swim to the disco, out of your depth jaded gigoloYour lucky charms are tarnished so you leave aloneBut there's one place left to go before the taxi homeAfter all you've made your MarksOne night you'll play Elizabeth TaylorThe next night you're Marilyn MonroeForever kissing frogs that think they're princesOh, Lady Nina, where did all the romance go?Your little sister babysits, your husband picks you up at sixThe make-up hides the bruises and the tears so they never show'Cos your beauty is the only thing you've ever ownedIt's the only way you've ever known to make your MarksYou made your marks, you made your marksWe believe it's for realIch liebe dich, liebst du michLady Nina, I'd love to take you home with meBut I love my wife and I love my familyI've got a good job, responsibilitiesAnd I need to keep respect from societyI know you'll never act with me,I know that you're in love with meSo 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, you made your marksEbony flowers pinned to a velvet cushion in a red lightAnd Edith Piaf sings a lullaby for the nightJust making Marks, just making MarksJust making Marks, just making MarksYou made your MarksEbony flowers pinned to a velvet cushion in a red lightAnd Edith Piaf sings a lullaby for the nightJust making Marks, just making Marks...You made your Marks,And you made your Mark - Just making Marks,And you made your Mark - Just making Marks
