Franks, Michael - Innuendo Lyrics
No one here
Venus and Mars
And a skyful of stars
It's been a slo-mo year
A few stolen kisses
I wait, wish my mission was clearer
For the cherub's arrow
Hesitate, one last look in the mirror
My lappels are narrow
Down the stairs and hit the street
The bravado's just pretend though
And the chic spot where we met
Is called Innuendo
Birds of a feather
We ought to know better
We're cool and shy
Love is outrageous
But highly contagious
We wait, while our salads are dressing
For the cherub's arrow
You look great, cappuccino compressing
To Ravel's Bolero
It would surely be a shame
If the evening had to end though
We're both masters of the game
Known as Innuendo
If you believe in love
Prepare for stormy weather
Guess I should heed my own advice
I can't believe that love
Would bring us back together
'Cause lighting never strikes the same place twice
Candlelight
And saying "I've missed you"
Confuses the issue
This summer night
The cabdriver chuckles
We smell honeysuckle
Too late, guess the poison got stronger
It's the cherub's arrow
We can't wait, to make love any longer
Guess it's now or never
And this happiness we feel
As we move to the crescendo
Makes the dialogue all real
Not just Innuendo
No more Innuendo
...

Franks, Michael Innuendo Comments
One of my favorites
songs. Thanks you mr. Franks. 👍😅
My favorite high school teacher played this song for us when we read Ernest Hemingway (no, I don’t remember why), and she played Ravel’s “Bolero” as well. Just thought of it this morning in the shower. Can’t believe I remember it from 30 years ago!
