Lyrics

(Quealy)

Time after time it falls apart, so hard to keep your faith alive
Take the arrow from your heart, wipe the poison tip and then you start
To reinvent yourself again, create a new affair that ain’t never gonna’ end

You design yourself a love; invest in all you’re dreaming of
From all that is and all that was
Find a hand that fits the glove; lose your glass slipper in the mud
Your prince will come and dig it up, when you design yourself a love

You feel a spirit fill the night, a holy flame to keep you warm
The fire dims and the heat subsides, the embers cool and your religion dies
And you’re back on the street again, you got a few new commandments
And one more man condemned

You design yourself a love; invest in all you’re dreaming of
From all that is and all that was
Find a hand that fits the glove; lose your glass slipper in the mud
Your prince will come and dig it up, when you design yourself a love

It can’t be left to chance that love will find its way
It’s a scientific dance, convincing love to stay

An ideal ploy for the perfect world, the ideal boy and the perfect girl
You got a list of prerequisites
And you won’t quit until you find that perfect fit
You’ll be on your own until then
Refining lovers’ needs while redefining friends

You design yourself a love; invest in all you’re dreaming of
From all that is and all that was
Find the hand that fits the glove; lose your glass slipper in the mud
Your prince will come and dig it up when you design yourself a love
