Leather skin coat, cold velvet,
And a big slick car.
Three cigarettes in an ashtray, a cup of coffee,
And a dream gone too far.
Her silhouette's in a doorway, cold cash,
In a big cold heart.
And her pockets full of diamonds, bit her lips,
In her whispers of a star.
BRIDGE:
She left me spellbound,
Way down in Mexico-way,
That's where she wants to stay.
One touch left my heart filled with fire,
One love, left me stone cold desire.
CHORUS:
I did for love, that's all it takes,
I've got the stone cold rhythm shakes.
I did for love, that's all it takes,
I've got the stone cold rhythm shakes.
Her love is like a hurricane,
It never hit me in the same place twice.
Black silk dress, golden lace,
And a chance in paradise.
Her golden little touch, sweet dreams,
Make me shiver and-a shake.
Ruby lace stockings, spanish roses,
And all the rules that she'd break.

SOLO
I see her dance behind the curtain,
And I turned, as I felt my heart break.
She calls me like an angel who's fallen,
I was left there wide awake.
A string of white pearls,
Sunglasses from a weekend in Spain.
You know, love's so lonely,
Like a ride aboard a mystery train.
