Abdul and Cleopatra Lyrics by The Modern Lovers

Back in Your Life

0

Richman
Abdul's not seen Cleopatra
It's been almost now a year
How I wonder where she's at-ra
And I wish the old girl were here
Abdul yearns for Cleopatra in the early morning sun
Abdul loves Cleopatra, she's still the one
You know, I love Cleopatra
I'm just grateful that I know that old girl
Even though I wonder where she's at-ra
As I wander through this world
And Abdul yearns for Cleopatra, Abdul takes her or takes none
Abdul loves Cleopatra, she's still the one
All right, Leroy, tell them...
Well, Cleopatra, take my patience and test it
(test it)
Cleopatra, take your time as ye may
(as ye may)
My time has been well-spent
(well-spent)
I done cleaned up my tent
(his tent)
You'll like it when you see it someday
I will wait for Cleopatra
For I know my time must come
And I'm gettin' ready for wherever she'll be at-ra
Cause I'm gettin' stronger now and not so dumb
Abdul yearns for Cleopatra in the early desert sun
I love Cleopatra, she's still the one
I love Cleopatra, she's still the one
I love Cleopatra, she's still the one
I love Cleopatra, she's still the one
Abdul loves Cleopatra, she's still the one
I love Cleopatra, she's still the one
