Alphaville Oh Patti lyrics

Alphaville
Prostitute
Oh Patti
Patti can't take it, she gotta give it back
The world is a big place and she's frightened
And if you kiss her, she gotta kiss you back
She couldn't stand a kiss for free--
--on her own

And while she's playing with all she exchanged
Yawning at the multitude
Her world is a big place
Full of toys and boys and teddy bears
Where nothing is for free
That's what her mother told her once


And Patti has a big, big heart
Bigger than her life
She just forgot the most fantastic thing within
She's sitting in her glasshouse but she does not dare
To throw the stones to make it all come true
Of what she's dreaming of and so it seems to me

Patti can't take it, she gotta give it back
Her world is a big place and she's frightened
But if you love her, maybe she'll accept
Maybe she'll take your love for free
On her own
All alone
