Queen Of New Orleans lyrics

Artist  : Bon Jovi 
Song : Queen Of New Orleans
 


QUEEN OF NEW ORLEANS
Jon Bon Jovi
words &
music by Jon Bon Jovi & Dave Stewart
Album:
Destination Anywhere

She said baby our
love's just like your songs
The beat ain't bad
but the words are all wrong
It's time to pack
my bags, it's time to just move on
She sang,
Johnny, I'm gone, gone, gone
And she's
gone

Me and Leigh met summer of '95
In
a burgundy dress lookin' finer than French
wine
A Cajun queen with another side
She
was a schoolboy's dream, I was out my mind
She
was lookin' fine
She said "You want to dirve me
home"
But what I didn't
know...

Chorus:
Ooh, Ooh - I was
dancing with the Queen of New Orleans
Ooh, Ooh
- Dancing in the streets of New Orleans
Ooh,
Ooh - Dancing cheek to cheek in New
Orleans
Ooh, Ooh - It was almost like a
dream

That night I made a move, man I fell
hard
When I put my hands in her cookie
jar
She was more than a girl, she was a
cabaret star
I was a deer in the lights of a
speeding car
Nothing's what it seems
She
was a Venus de Milo in her sister's
jeans

Repeat Chorus

Alternate
Chorus(1):
Ooh, Ooh - I was dancing with the
Queen of New Orleans
Ooh, Ooh - Dancing in the
streets of New Orleans
Ooh, Ooh - Dancing cheek
to cheek in New Orleans
Ooh, Ooh - Dancing with
the Queen down Bourbon Street

Alternate
Chorus(2):
Ooh, Ooh - I was dancing with the
Queen of New Orleans
Ooh, Ooh - Dancing in the
streets of New Orleans
Ooh, Ooh - Nothing's
what it seems in New Orleans
Ooh, Ooh -
Dancing with the Queen of New Orleans

Ooh,
Ooh - Dancing with the Queen of New
Orleans
