Venus is Breaking

Words and Music by Vonda Shepard



I kissed this man with one of my lips

I bumped this man with one of my hips



Now I'm sad and I'm free again, he won't be coming back

Save my victory get this monkey off my back



It's snowing outside, it's a desert in here

It blows my mind how you disappeared



And I feel so strange, I need to love somebody whole

The sound of his name rocked me like a jungle in my soul



I'm just a girl who wants to have fun

You shined on my world like a burning sun



Life is a scream I cling to this dream

Venus is breaking in me



I kick the sand, get drunk again

I slap my hand, I'm in love with this man



And I feel so lame for getting sucked in this deep

You're a quagmire baby and you make me feel so cheap



You shined n my world like a burning sun

Well I could have sworn that you were the one



Life is a scream, I cling to this dream

Venus is breaking in me (she's breaking inside me)

Life is a scream, I cling to this dream

My love was the real thing



I paid this price one time before

My friends say he ain't worth it, but I'd pay even more



Venus is breaking inside of me

She dreams of a life that'll never be



Repeat chorus
