10. PORTUGUESE GODDESS
MUSIC AND LYRICS: RICHARD HOLLEY
VOCALS: JOE LAPALLO

WE MET BY CHANCE IN A COFFEE SHOP
YOU LOOKED SO TIRED AND A LITTLE BIT LOST
YOU ASKED FOR MY HELP, SO I DID MY BEST
I GAVE YOU SOME FOOD, AND A PLACE TO REST

IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN A LOVELY FRIENDSHIP
THAT STARTED THAT DAY, ON THAT DAY
I THOUGHT THAT SWEET LOVE
MIGHT BE FINALLY ON ITS WAY, ON ITS WAY
BUT I WAS TO BE PROVEN WRONG YET ONCE AGAIN
WHAT LOOKED LIKE SUNSHINE
VERY QUICKLY TURNED INTO RAIN

PORTUGUESE GODDESS, TATTOOED UPON YOU
BEAUTY ASTOUNDING, YOU STOLE MY HEART FROM ME
PORTUGUESE GODDESS, MEN GATHER ‘ROUND YOU
BEAUTY ABOUNDING, BUT YOU NEED TO BE FREE
YOU COULD NEVER TRULY GIVE
YOUR HEART AND SOUL TO ME

WE GOT ALONG A MONTH OR TWO
THINGS WERE JUST FINE WHEN I GAVE IN TO YOU
BUT AFTER A WHILE THE FIGHTING WOULD START
SO LITTLE BY LITTLE WE DRIFTED APART

MY HOPE THAT WE’D MAKE IT
BEGAN TO FADE AWAY, FADE AWAY
INSTEAD OF SWEET LOVE,
I FELT MY HEART BETRAYED, BETRAYED
I WANTED TO LOVE YOU,
BUT YOU WANTED TO JUST STAY FRIENDS
I GAVE YOU TOO MUCH
AND YOU USED ME UNTIL THE END, OH-WHO-OH

PORTUGUESE GODDESS, YOU’RE STILL A WOMAN
SOME DAY YOU’LL WAKE UP AND FINALLY SEE
PORTUGUESE GODDESS, I REALLY LOVED YOU
YOU COULD HAVE HAD A SWEET LIFE WITH ME
BUT YOU COULD NEVER TRULY GIVE
YOUR HEART AND SOUL TO ME

LIFE WENT ON AND WE WENT SEPARATE WAYS
I GOT A GOOD JOB, YOU AUDITIONED FOR PLAYS
I DID ALRIGHT, YOU BECAME A STAR
A PART OF ME GOES WITH YOU WHEREVER YOU ARE

I HOPE THAT YOU FIND
THE LIGHT OF YOUR LIFE SOMEDAY, SOMEDAY
I HOPE THAT YOU LEARN TO BE HAPPY WITH HIM
COME WHAT MAY, COME WHAT MAY
PERHAPS ONE DAY I’LL DISCOVER WHAT’S BECOME OF YOU, OH-WHO-OH
AND MAYBE YOU’LL LEARN
THAT MY LOVE FOR YOU WAS TRUE,
OH-WHO-OH

PORTUGUESE GODDESS, TATTOOED UPON YOU
BEAUTY ASTOUNDING, YOU STOLE MY HEART FROM ME
PORTUGUESE GODDESS, MEN GATHER ‘ROUND YOU
BEAUTY ABOUNDING, BUT YOU NEED TO BE FREE

PORTUGUESE GODDESS, YOU’RE STILL A WOMAN
SOME DAY YOU’LL WAKE UP AND FINALLY SEE
PORTUGUESE GODDESS, I REALLY LOVED YOU
YOU COULD HAVE HAD A SWEET LIFE WITH ME
BUT YOU COULD NEVER TRULY GIVE
YOUR HEART AND SOUL TO ME
PORTUGUESE GODDESS, YOU NEEDED TO BE FREE
YOU STOLE MY HEART FROM ME, OH-WO-WO-O-OH
PORTUGUESE GODDESS
