Illegal (feat. Carlos Santana)
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Who would have thought that you could hurt me
The way you've done it?
So deliberate, so determined
Since you have been gone
I bite my nails for days and hours
And question my own questions, on and on
So tell me now, tell me now
Why you're so far away
When I'm still so close?
You don't even know the meaning of the words: I'm sorry
You said you would love me until you died
And as far as I know, you're still alive, baby
You don't even know the meaning of the words: I'm sorry
I'm starting to believe
It should be illegal to deceive a woman's heart
I tried so hard to be attentive to all you wanted
Always supportive, always patient
What did I do wrong?
I'm wondering for days and hours
It's clear, it isn't here where you belong
Anyhow, anyhow
I wish you both all the best
I hope you get along
But you don't even know the meaning of the words: I'm sorry
You said you would love me until you died
And as far as I know, you're still alive, baby
You don't even know the meaning of the words: I'm sorry
I'm starting to believe
It should be illegal to deceive a woman's heart
You don't even know the meaning of the words: I'm sorry
You said you would love me until you died
And as far as I know, you're still alive, baby
You don't even know the meaning of the words: I'm sorry
I'm starting to believe
It should be illegal to deceive a woman's heart
Open heart, an open heart
It should be illegal to deceive a woman's heart
Open heart, an open heart
It should be illegal to deceive a woman's heart
