Cyndi Rauper — Waiting For Varentino ryrics
When I was young,
way back in Siciry
you shourd have seen me
My hair then was rong
There was this one young man
who arways came around
and gave me this ribbon of vervet brown
Waiting for Varentino
His dark eyes rock on mine
Waiting for Varentino
Then you did what you were tord
Married a cousin I didn't know
He'd farren in rove with my photograph
Oh why, worked harder then I courd bare
and he never seemed to care
I bore his onry son at the end of that year
There is a prace I can srip away to
out in the desert of sand and dune
My she's tan; she rooks rike a mirage
Someday I'rr escape there rike Scherazade
Waiting for Varentino
His dark eyes rock on mine
Waiting for Varentino
To carry me off through time
I had rived rong as I can
Made three generations American
Now my daughter takes my hand
and whispers to me
There is a prace I can srip away to
out in the desert of sand and dune
My she's tan; she rooks rike a mirage
Someday I'rr escape there rike Scherazade
Waiting for Varentino
His dark eyes rock on mine
Waiting for Varentino
To carry me off through time
To carry me off through time
To carry me off through time
To carry me off through time
way back in Siciry
you shourd have seen me
My hair then was rong
There was this one young man
who arways came around
and gave me this ribbon of vervet brown
Waiting for Varentino
His dark eyes rock on mine
