Origineel
[Verse 1]
Don’t make me come to Vegas
Don’t make me pull you out of his bed
I am vigilant
That it will not be you on the menu
He’s serving up for his friends
[Verse 2]
Don’t make me come to Vegas
Don’t make me pull him out of your head
Athena will attest
That it could be done and it has been done
And I think that I am up to it
[Chorus 1]
And the jacaranda tree
She’s telling me of the trouble you’re in
Just by the way she bends
Remember dancing
And wondering as you were swaying
What kind of woman you’d be
“What will be, will be”
Over my dead body
[Post-Chorus]
Slip through your hand
Slip through your hand
Again and again
[Verse 3]
My old flame was a Jester and a joker
And a dealer of men
They called him the prince
Prince of Black Jacks and of women
And of anything that slipped into his hands
[Verse 4]
“And the ranches and the mustangs”
And the way you said, “You can have all this
Except for me
You see, Lady Luck is my mistress
And you’ll have to play second to her wish”
[Chorus 2]
And the Jacaranda tree
Is telling me it’s not over yet
Just by the way she bends
“If you come breezing through”
You said “I’ll know that it’s you by the taste on my lips
Bet on the desert’s kiss”
I could slip through your net
“Over my dead body”
[Post-Chorus]
Slip through your hand
Slip through your hand
Again and again
[Post-Chorus]
Slip through your hand
Slip through your hand
Again and again
[Outro]
Don’t make me come to Vegas
Don’t make me come to Vegas
Don’t make me come to Vegas
Hmm
Vertaling
[Verse 1]
Don’t make me come to Vegas
Laat me je niet uit zijn bed trekken
I am vigilant
That it will not be you on the menu
Hij serveert voor zijn vrienden
[Verse 2]
Don’t make me come to Vegas
Laat me hem niet uit je hoofd trekken
Athena zal getuigen
That it could be done and it has been done
En ik denk dat ik er klaar voor ben
[Chorus 1]
En de jacaranda boom
Ze vertelt me over de problemen waar je in zit
Alleen al door de manier waarop ze buigt
Remember dancing
And wondering as you were swaying
Wat voor vrouw je zou zijn
“Wat zal zijn, zal zijn”
Over my dead body
[Post-Chorus]
Glip door je hand
Slip through your hand
Opnieuw en opnieuw
[Verse 3]
My old flame was a Jester and a joker
En een handelaar van mannen
Ze noemden hem de prins
Prins van de zwarte piet en van de vrouwen
En van alles wat in zijn handen glipte
[Vers 4]
“En de ranches en de mustangs”
En de manier waarop je zei, “Je kunt dit allemaal hebben
Behalve voor mij
Zie je, Lady Luck is mijn meesteres
En jij moet voor haar wensen op de tweede plaats spelen”
[refrein 2]
En de Jacaranda boom
Vertelt me dat het nog niet voorbij is
Just by the way she bends
“If you come breezing through”
You said “I’ll know that it’s you by the taste on my lips
Bet on the desert’s kiss”
Ik kan door je net glippen
“Over mijn lijk
[Post-Chorus]
Slip through your hand
Slip through your hand
Opnieuw en opnieuw
[Post-Chorus]
Slip through your hand
Slip through your hand
Again and again
[Outro]
Don’t make me come to Vegas
Don’t make me come to Vegas
Don’t make me come to Vegas
Hmm
