You were still born
You were dangerous
Legal
But only just
And I could never be your Brando
I could never be your Brando

You had red lips
And an hourglass
You plucked what you didn't need
But you did it fast
And I could never be your Brando
I could never be your Brando

I thought that I had some power
But you made me put it in you
I thought that I saw you weeping
When I said you were one of a few
Ooooh

You were Parisian
You made traffic stop
You wanted a raise
But you were at the top
And I could never be your Brando
I could never be your Brando

<long lynyrd skynyrd instrumental>
