Casanova's Got the Blues Songtext
von Richard Clapton

Madame′s on the corner
Wearing her cheap disguise
And everybody's sneakin′ round her
Trying to hide their eyes

She looks like a fool from a masquerade
She'll tell you she's just out there havin′ fun
But she looks more to me like a prisoner
Afraid and on the run

Casanova′s got the blues
My heart feels just like stone
And I'm talking back to my radio
Dancing on my own

Well, there goes Franz Josef of Austria
Into the Grand Hotel
Now he don′t care how much he has to spend
He'll buy anything she can sell


When she packs up her body and fantasies
She′ll laugh when he's outside the door
Scream, "Honey, how come a sucker like you
Just keeps running back for more?"

Casanova′s got the blues
My heart feels just like stone
And I'm talking back to my radio
Dancing on my own

I keep trying to escape these pirates
Who wreck anything they can't steal
They smash your ideals with violence
They grab the best end of the deal

You won′t catch me near your window, babe
Putting myself on display
So don′t you come ask me for anything
'Cause I′ve found out that love doesn't pay

Casanova′s got the blues
My heart feels just like stone
And I'm talkin′, talkin', talkin' back to my radio
Dancing on my own
