Madonna, Antonio Banderas, Jimmy Nail, Julian Littman - Eva and Magaldi / Eva Beware of the City lyrics

To think that a man as famous as you are
Could love a poor little nothing like me

I wanna be a part of BA
Buenos Aires, Big Apple

She wants to be a part of BA
Buenos Aires, Big Apple

Just listen to that
They're on to you Magaldi
I'd get out while you can

It's happened at last
I'm starting to get started
I'm moving out with my man

Now Eva don't get carried away

Monotony past, suburbia departed
Who could ever be fond of the back of beyond?

Don't hear words that I didn't say

What's that? You'd deserve the
Girl you love?

The girl I love? What are you talking about?
She rеally brightened up
Your out-of-town engagеment
She gave you all she had
She wasn't in your contract
You must be quite relieved
That noone's told the papers, so far

I wanna be a part of BA
Buenos Aires, Big Apple

Would I have done what I did
If I hadn't thought, if I hadn't known
We would stay together

Seems to me there's no point in resisting
She's made up her mind, you've no choice
Why don't you be the man who discovered her
You'll never be remembered for your voice

The city can be paradise for
Those who have the cash
The class and the connections
What you need to make a splash
The likes of you get swept up
In the morning with the trash
If you were rich or middle class

Screw the middle classes! I
Will never accept them!
My father's other family were middle class
And we were kept out of sight
Hidden from view at his funeral
Do all your one night stands
Give you this trouble?

Eva beware of the city
It's hungry and cold, can't be controlled
It is mad
Those who are fools are swallowed up whole
And those who are not become
What they should not become
Changed, in short, they go bad

Bad is good for me
I'm bored, so clean, and so ignored
I've only been predictable, respectable
Birds fly out of here
So why oh why oh why the hell can't I?
I only want variety, of society

I wanna be a part of BA
Buenos Aires, Big Apple

She wants to be a part of BA
Buenos Aires, Big Apple

Five years from now I shall come back
And finally say, "You have your way, come to
Town" but you'll look at me
With a foreigner's eyes
The magical city, a younger girl's city
A fantasy long since put down
All you've done to me
Was that a young girl's fantasy?
I played your city games alright, didn't I?
I already know what cooks
How the dirty city feels and looks
I tasted it last night, didn't I?

I'm gonna be a part of BA
Buenos Aires, Big Apple

She's gonna be a part of BA
Buenos Aires, Big Apple

Eva beware your ambition
It's hungry and cold, can't be controlled
Will run wild
This in a man is danger enough
But you are a woman not even a woman
Not very much more than a child
