I would love to love you,
but you just runaway from me.
Someday I hope,
we will get closer,
and heaven knows what will happen next.
What can I do to make you see,
that all I want is intimacy?
All I want is for you to join me in my secret life,
that comes to me only when I sleep.
Darling, I know love gives and love takes,
but don't tell me you're no good for me.
You're forgiven, not forgotten,
I'm no queen of hollywood myself.
I know you're somebody else's boyfriend,
but please toss the feathers away.
The feathers from the little wing,
that Paddy McCarthy has put on you.
Baby, this is the right time for me and you,
and what i know is this:
I'm hopelessely addicted to you,
and remember my feelings,
even if you decide to leave me alone.

I am married to the minstrel boy,
but when he's not around,
I only dream of you and me dancing to the carraroe jig.
For fun, I go along with the girls,
but even though we are family,
every day with them, without you seems like a rainy day.
Don't say you love me if you don't,
but if you do, I'll tell my husband: I never really loved you anyway
Your girlfriend is so young,
so marry me, Erin Shore, instead!
Let's haste to the wedding,
let's experience the joy of life,
because I truly must be the girl of your dreams...
