Clare Maguire: Elizabeth Taylor
Clare Maguire: Elizabeth Taylor Lyrics:
I feel like Elizabeth Taylor
This could be a movie
I feel like Elizabeth Taylor
Red lips, dark hair,
Alone in my trailer
Under my white shirt
I’ve loved, I’ve lost and loved again
But here I am on my own
I feel like Elisabeth Taylaor
Do I make you nervous?
I feel like Elisabeth Taylor
And not just down in surface
I’ve loved, I’ve lost and loved again,
But here I am, here I stand,
I’ve loved, I’ve lost and loved again,
But here I am, another lesson learned
Another lesson learned
I feel like Elisabeth Taylor
At the after party
In a room full of strangers
Just me and my Bacardi.
Thinking of a new movie
and the roles that we’d play
Sometimes I look back and I wish that you’d stayed
I’ve loved, I’ve lost and loved again
But here I am on my own.
I’ve loved, I’ve lost and loved again
But here I am, here I stand
I’ve loved, I’ve lost and loved again
But here I am, another lesson learned
Ooooh, ooh, ooh,
Red lips, dark hair.
Oooh, ooh, oh.
Do I make you nervous?
It’s another lesson learned,
another lesson learned,
another lesson learned.
I’ve loved, I’ve lost and loved again,
But here I am, here I stand.
I’ve loved, I’ve lost and loved again,
But here I am, another lesson learned.
No one could tame me
Another lesson learned
No one could tame me
Another lesson learned.
Another lesson learned.
