Illustrating Love Songtext
von Patrick El-Hag

I met you outside the city
You were so young and so pretty
You smiled at me as you entered my car
You asked me; "Where are you heading?"
- I′m on my way to a wedding
You laughed and said; "We don't have to take it that far"

Illustrating love
Bodies in emotion
Illustrating love
All that I can say
Illustrating love
Faking the emotion
Illustrating love
Keep promises away


The groom said yes, and so they were married
He thought their problems were buried
I didn′t care, had other thoughts on my mind
We stayed with the crowd, started to mingle
Feeling so good yet feeling so single
Knowing for sure, we were two of a kind

Illustrating love
Bodies in emotion
Illustrating love
All that I can say
Illustrating love
Faking the emotion
Illustrating love
Keep promises away
Illustrating love

I peeled off your dress, it was all very Latin
Your body, my hands, your skin was like satin
And though I speak Spanish, I had nothing to say
I gave you milk, you gave me honey
The following morning I lent you some money
Both of us knew, I would be leaving next day
I would be leaving next day
Both of us knew, I would be leaving next day

Illustrating love
Bodies in emotion
Illustrating love
All that I can say
Illustrating love
Faking the emotion
Illustrating love
Keep promises away
Illustrating love
