He’s bitter, so blue
Cold armour, see through
Heavy heart, heavy head
Walking tall, walking dead
Then love attacks
And you can try to hide
But in the end there’s nowhere
It can get inside
A triple-locked apartment
A secret compartment
Can’t conceal the treasure
When love comes to take your heart away
She’s fragile, so torn
Spanish lace, so shop-worn
There’s a rainbow
And there’s a stream
A total eclipse
Of a dream
Then love attacks
And you can try to hide
But in the end there’s nowhere
It can get inside
A triple-locked apartment
A secret compartment
Can’t conceal the treasure
When love comes to take your heart away
Now he can seem tough
You think he must be scarred
But if you scratch below the surface you’ll find
That he’s just love-starved
She’s so hungry
For something new
Or something borrowed
Out of the blue
Then love attacks
And you can try to hide
But in the end there’s nowhere
It can get inside
A triple-locked apartment
A secret compartment
Can’t conceal the treasure
When love comes to take your heart away
