Lyrics
Bumbahdum...
lyrics & music by carrie clark
She's got red hair and her lips soft and full then the stare
With her green eyes makes you weak in the knees
She's a flower and she'll dance until the late hour
Then she'll love you until you find that you have lost your mind and she sings...
Bum bah dum bah dum bah dum bum bum bah dum bum bum
Bum bah dum bah dum bah dum bum bum bah dum bum dum
She calls to you in the night enchanting you with her song
That will lead you into her arms then before you know it
She'll woo you in your darkest hour she'll love you till you've known no other day
And then when you've lost your way...
A mystery she has taken over all your dreams
So hauntingly, she's strung you out bringing you to your knees
But you don't even know her name and she's seduced the clouds from your rain
And now all that you have left is a crumpled washed up memory of her singing...
Bum bah dum bah dum bah dum bum bum bah dum bum bum
Bum bah dum bah dum bah dum bum bum bah dum bum dum
You'll dance every hour then you'll dance cause she's a flower
Then she'll dance into another's arms and before you realize
Lost in illusions strung out and confused
When you've succumbed to the conclusion that she's gone and you're left with nothing but...
Bum bah dum bah dum bah dum bum bum bah dum bum bum
Bum bah dum bah dum bah dum bum bum bah dum bum dum
