Sophie Ellis-Bextor
The Greatest Gift
[ Verse 1 ]
There's no way you’ll ever believe me
I always make it look so easy
Lipstick [?] and unwanted numbers wear you out
Just leave me to my own devises
You don't make enough sacrifices
Always cracking up in a crisis
Every time and i just can't take it
[ Pre-Chorus ]
So i’ll taint you with temptation
Compromise your situation
I will be the complication
In your plan
[ Chorus ]
The greatest gift you gave was paradise (pa-da-pa-pa)
But it was only in your mind
The greatest gift you gave came with a price (pa-da-pa-pa)
So you're just candy for my mind
[ Verse 2 ]
Now's the one time we can agree
You'll never change, you'll never be me
If you grow up, maybe show up
And until then you'll know your place, dear
[ Pre-Chorus ]
So i'll taint you with temptation
Compromise your situation
I will be the complication
In your plan
[ Chorus ]
The greatest gift you gave was paradise (pa-da-pa-pa)
But it was only in your mind
The greatest gift you gave came with a price (pa-da-pa-pa)
So you're just candy for my mind
[ Bridge ]
Desperation stems from resisting a desire (na-na-na-na-na)
To find the flames when you are [?]
The look in your eyes is the cypher of the others truth, and
I know you want me
[ Instrumental Break ]
[ Chorus ]
The greatest gift you gave was paradise (pa-da-pa-pa)
But it was only in your mind
I’m dressed to kill, you’re never satisfied (pa-da-pa-pa)
I'm leave all of this behind
