Lyrics to Bete Noire

Lyrics to the song Bête Noire as recorded by Bryan Ferry.

(Ferry/Leonard)

I know you, inside me
Like poison like wine
Now there's no sense in falling
Say you'll be mine

Give me the world around you
Give me the time
Only a dream without you
Say you'll be mine

I've got you, inside me
In darkness entwined
I would be lost without you
Say you'll be mine

Give me the world around you
Give me the time
Only a dream without you
Say you'll be mine

Reflected in water
Imagined by fire
I will be waiting for you
Say you'll be mine
Say you'll be mine

Beware bete noire
Beware bete noire
Beware bete noire
Beware bete noire
Beware bete noire
