The Courtesy Of Kings Lyrics - Plain Spoken - John Mellencamp

I knew this colorful woman once 

She drank and had a roving eye 

In the morning she was always mournful 

She'd cry and apologize 

But she'd always repeat herself 

Find comfort with a stranger and sing 

She never took much notice 

In the courtesy of kings 

She had pictures of Cuban artists 

And paintings from Rotterdam 

Promises that she made 

She never could stay true to them 

She said she loved me so deeply 

Then she'd spit in my face and scream 

And she never took much notice 

In the courtesy of kings 

She had the face of an angel 

And a smile no one could deny 

But the heart of a devil 

Beat deep down in her inside 

She spoke of judgment and forgiveness 

Her other lovers didn't mean a thing 

She never took much notice 

In the courtesy of kings

We parted in the middle of nowhere 

I haven't seen her since then 

She always kept my mind busy 

She made her lies sing like a hymn 

Sometimes I wonder if I'd see her 

If I would still recognize 

Or just remember her as a dream 

And respect her for the love she used to bring 

And if I could show her 

The courtesy of kings
