[INTRO]
G C
[CHORUS]
G D Em G
Ballerina, prima donna
C G
Take your shoes and your shellac
Bm C
Get out of my life and don’t come back
D G
I’ve played your games for far too long
[VERSE 1]
Em D C G
Was it you who mesmerised me, or the Covent Garden lights
C G Am D
That thrilled and hypnotised me on those long fantastic nights?
C D Em C
You nearly took me in, you wore that smile upon your face

But I began to wake up when I saw behind the make-up and the lace

Now that I know you well, I see our love affair was just a fling
