Mujer Contra Mujer (English Translation) Song Lyrics
Mujer Contra Mujer (English Translation) by Laura Branigan There's nothing special
About two women holding hands
The shade comes after that
When they do it under the tablecloth
Then, alone and with nothing to lose,
The hands go first, and then the rest of the skin.
A love to hide
Though naked, there's nowhere to hide it.
They disguise it as friendship
When they go out walking round the city
One of them thinks that that's not right
The other one says: " Who cares?".
And other's opinions don't count.
Who stops doves flying?
Flying over the ground
Woman on woman.
It's not up to me
To throw at them the first stone
If I'm in the wrong circumstance,
And I found them lip to lip in a room
I wouldn't even dare to cough
If I don't like it, I know what I've got to do.
With my stones they build their own wall.
Who stops doves flying?
Flying over the ground
Woman on woman.
One of them thinks that that's not right
The other one says: " Who cares?".
And other's opinion doesn't count.
One of them thinks that that's not right
The other one says: " Who cares?".
And other's opinion doesn't count.
You're living a lie, you're wasting your time
Caught in a dream, you're living a lie
You're living a lie, you're wasting your time
Caught in a dream, you're living a lie
You keep wonderin' where she's goin'
Just to find where she's been
Could it be she no longer loves you?
Could it be it's the end?
You're living a lie, you're wasting your time
Caught in a dream, I said you're living a lie
You're living a lie, you're wasting your time
Caught in a dream, you're living a lie
Somebody better help this boy
He's chasing rainbows in the sky
But there's a fool in every boy
The things you never question why
You're living a lie, you're wasting your time
Caught in a dream, you're living a lie
You're living a lie, you're wasting your time
Caught in a dream, I said you're living a lie
You're living a lie, you're wasting your time
Caught in a dream, ah, you're living a lie
You're living a lie, you're wasting your time
Caught in a dream, you're living a lie
You're living a lie, you're wasting your time ... [fade out]
