Sandra – Maria Magdalena Lyrics
You take my love
You want my soul
I would be crazy to share your life
Why can’t you see what I am?
Sharpen your senses and turn the knife
Hurt me and you’ll understand
I’ll never be Maria Magdalena
(You’re a creature of the night)
Maria Magdalena
(You’re a victim of the fight, you need love)
Promise me delight
(You need love)
I’ll never be Maria Magdalena
(You’re a creature of the night)
Maria Magdalena
(You’re a victim of the fight, you need love)
Promise me delight
(You need love)
[x2]
Why must I lie?
Find alibis?
When will you wake up and realize
I can’t surrender to you?
Play for affection and win the prize?
I know those party games too
I’ll never be Maria Magdalena
(You’re a creature of the night)
Maria Magdalena
(You’re a victim of the fight, you need love)
Promise me delight
(You need love)
I’ll never be Maria Magdalena
(You’re a creature of the night)
Maria Magdalena
(You’re a victim of the fight, you need love)
Promise me delight
(You need love)
I’ll never be Maria Magdalena
(You’re a creature of the night)
Maria Magdalena
(You’re a victim of the fight, you need love)
Promise me delight
(You need love)
I’ll never be Maria Magdalena
(You’re a creature of the night)
Maria Magdalena
(You’re a victim of the fight, you need love)
Promise me delight
(You need love)
