Like an Havana Madonna, you came into my life
How was I to know that in the end your love would cut me like a knife
Like an Havana Madonna, you gave me passion and peace
How was I to know that in the end your love would drive me to my knees
you got me down on my knees, down on my knees.

You tried to give me all your multicoloured dreams, so bright
but mine were fine in black and white, alright,
You tried to lead me into your neon-paradise, all night
but I really could do with a little moonshine
as a guiding light

Like an Havana Madonna, you came into my life...

The powergames you set up where only meant to be won by you
but your victories were much too much too few.
You tried to break my confidence, by telling me what to do
but I'd rather be a simple fool, than fakin' a high IQ

How come that something so good, felt so bad
How come you broke the last bit of pride I had
How come you left me bleeding in the sand
How come these contradictions followed me till the bitter end

Like an Havana Madonna, you came into my life...
