The first time I knew I’d blown it
I said I was an actress (Had somewhere big to go)
I was lookin' for a dress
Like the ones they make in Italy and France
A bodice at the back so you can’t breathe
But you sure can dance
And I remember love
And the power of the moment
The shop girls bought every word
They took down my address, and they said
«Che bella che sei, che bella che sei
Quelli occhi verde coi capelli neri come la notte
La Vera Bellezza»
And when I was in Vegas
I spent seven grand in a streak of madness
The colours of the season, they
Can make you feel brand new
And I release my mind
To the power of the moment
Even if that moment is forking out at the counter
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Confidence might drown a girl
But not until she’s made to bend
Now I see you as you are
Rare and precious
Rare and precious, sayin'
«I could buy myself something new
I could buy myself something new, I could
I could buy myself something new
I could buy myself something new
I could, I could buy myself something new
I could buy myself something new, I could
I could buy myself something new, I could…»
