Producer for bonnie: rick derringer

Recorded in 1983 for rick derringer's 'good dirty fun' album. he had previously been working with bonnie on 'faster than the speed of night' and later asked her to duet. lyrics taken from careful listening.



He's bitter, so blue

Cold armour, see through

Heavy heart, heavy head

Walking tall, walking dead



Then love attacks

And you can try to hide

But in the end there's nowhere

It can get inside

A triple-locked apartment

A secret compartment

Can't conceal the treasure

When love comes to take your heart away



She's fragile, so torn

Spanish lace, so shop-worn

There's a rainbow

And there's a stream

A total eclipse

Of a dream



Then love attacks

And you can try to hide

But in the end there's nowhere

It can get inside

A triple-locked apartment

A secret compartment

Can't conceal the treasure

When love comes to take your heart away



Now he can seem tough

You think he must be scarred

But if you scratch below the surface you'll find

That he's just love-starved



She's so hungry

For something new

Or something borrowed

Out of the blue



Then love attacks

And you can try to hide

But in the end there's nowhere

It can get inside

A triple-locked apartment

A secret compartment

Can't conceal the treasure

When love comes to take your heart away
