They don’t hold hands in public
Don’t risk being seen
She accepts that’s the way it is
The way it’s always been
She runs to the phone whenever it rings
Ah, Vivienne, it’s just one of those things
She lives from moment to moment
To be by his side
Moments are all she gets
He returns to his bride
She gets so angry with herself
What she settles for
Ah, Vivienne, you always knew the score
Never seen him on Christmas Day
Never seen him on New Years Eve
He says their going to be together someday
She knows he’ll never leave
Never seen him on Christmas Day
Never seen him on New Years Eve
He says their going to be together someday
She knows he’ll never leave
"Ella nunca lo ve en Navidad
Nunca el vispera de los Anos Nuevos
El dice que seran juntos
Pero nunca estara"
He took her to Mexico
They could be alone
She said goodbye on a sandy beach
He flew home alone
She smiles when the radio
Says what she never could
Like when they play that song
"Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood"
