A Villa In Portugal Lyrics - Singles - Pursuit Of Happiness

[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]
