lyrics

Once I had all I wanted.
I sang with my torch held high,
Until the nightclubs I haunted
Left my flame to die.

Then with a single complaint
I lost my nightly per diem.
Slapped with an "Order of Restraint":
"Misuse & Abuse of....BPM"

I love a ballad, it tickles my palate,
And when they allow it I sing
Straight from the soul - a depressingly droll,
And unusual ballad.

Soaring in strains of peculiar refrains
Until nothing remains but a chain of
Long, luscious lines I love living for.
Let me be free with a ballad!

Only strings and a lone saxophone.
Joy it brings, till I'm left On My Own.

I love a ballad so much that I'm valid
In every Shakespearean phrase.
But I like 'em fast, cause the slow ones
Will go on for days.

Only strings and a whole opera cast.
Eagles' wings soar above me At Last.

I love a ballad to show off my talent,
Just watch as I make 'em all cry!
The heel of Achilles for me is the stress
Of keeping to tempos that others repress.
I may not be Billie, but nevertheless,
I love a ballad!
Can't you guess?
