Dummy Up - Nona Hendryx

Look to the right, look to the left

A passionate heart has taken your breath

Their eyes are filled with promise

The air they breathe is thin

A soft wind blows their cover

And one trades the other in

So dummy up

You’re just a fool for falling in love

Now you don’t know the time of day

So dummy up, don’t be no fool, you’d better

Hide your heart away

Lay down the rules, what games you will play

Cause there are the lovers who try

To steal your heart away

Their eyes are filled with promise

The air they breathe is thin

They whisper to their conscience:

«Nothing ventured, nothing gained»

So dummy up

Cause

You’re just a fool for falling in love

Now you don’t know the time of day

So dummy up, they say that love is light

But it will open your eyes

Broken and bitter, scarred and burned

to pieces, you’d think that they’d learn

Taken for granted, left in the rain

Turn out

All in love’s name

Lay down the rules, what the

Cause there are lovers to try

To steal your heart away

(Hide your heart away)

It only happened to them

You watch from the darkness

For signs of an end

So dummy up, you’d better hide your heart away
