A Villa In Portugal lyrics

lyrics by Jules Shear]

I never sought perfection, I loved her for her flaws
Someday you`ve got to do something nice for someone
and not wait for the applause
I started pluralizing my sentences I guess I skipped a verse
The moment I relied on her everything got worse

Oh no I could not say
She could mean to be so cruel
But the proof is on this postcard
>From a villa in Portugal
>From a villa in Portugal

She had the face of an angel mixed up with gypsy`s hands
Her emotions blow to pieces, man she doesn`t care where they land
She was going to a movie, a friend was gonna pick her up
She didn`t say she was going all the way to the Iberian Peninsula

[chorus]

I never sought perfection, I loved her for her flaws
So I`m left her to wonder how the spell I was under
Is effect without the cause
It doesn`t take a doctor with tools made to dissect
To smell in the air that hangs around here
Faith dying of neglect

[chorus
