Libertine Lyrics - Ant Adam

Adam Ant/Marco Pirroni 

A word from her is worth ten from me 

Her main concern is honesty 

She beat the selfishness right out of me 

The wild eyed child 

She's my libertine 

My only books were women's looks 

And the more I read, the less I said 

She wanted to search inside me 

To find this so-called purity 

She acts the films that I can't see 

The wild eyed child 

She's my libertine 

She showed me the slim chance I'd got 

And all the friendships baby, that I had not 

Be sure she has the guts of three 

The wild eyed child 

She's my libertine 

I know a girl she's got a lust for danger 

Thinks being tough makes her the Lone Ranger 

But when the chips are down it's loving she craves 

She's just another Aphrodite slave
