Casanova's Got The Blues

Richard Clapton

Madame's on the corner, wearing her cheap disguise,
And everybody's sneakin' round her, trying to hide their eyes,
She looks like a fool from a masquerade,
She'll tell you she's just out to have fun,
But she looks more to me like a prisoner
Afraid and on the run;

CHORUS:

Casanova's got the blues,
My heart feels just like stone,
And I'm talking back to my radio,
And dancing on my own.

Now there goes Franz Josef of Austria, into the Grand Hotel,
And he don't care how much he has to spend,
He'll buy anything she can sell,
When she packs up her body and fantasies,
She'll laugh when he's outside the door,
And scream "honey how come a sucker like you
Keeps on running back for more?"

Casanova's got the blues,
My heart feels just like stone,
And I'm talking back to my radio,
And dancing on my own

I keep trying to escape these pirates,
Who wreck anything they can't steal,
They smash your ideals with violence,
And grab the best end of the deal,
You won't catch me near your window babe
Putting myself on display,
So don't you come ask me for anything,
'Cause I've found out that love doesn't pay

Casanova's got the blues,
My heart feels just like stone,
And I'm talking back to my radio,
And dancing on my own
