I saw her in a crowded bar
I worshipped her from afar
Her rose tattoo with a star
Her hair as black as new laid tar.
Her eyes they sparkled like a fire
To fill a man with deep desire
Of the kind that will never tire
I tell the truth. I ain't no liar.
I crossed the room with heavy tread
I had one thought inside my head
She'll steal your heart, a voice there said.
But she stole my bloody wallet instead.
