Terence Trent D'arby - Ornella Or Nothing lyrics

When I sleep, I slip away To a love that finds a way She comes in colors like a falling star She is the reason that I've come this far She speaks in languages I understand That's why I'm all about Ornella or nothing She never talks about the way she feels She punches poets just to keep it real She rides my fences but she doesn't steal That's why I'm all about Ornella or nothing That's why I'm all about Ornella or nothing When I sleep I slip away To a love that finds a way She drive a motorcycle like a man She count her money with an open hand She come so loud that you can hear her scream That's why I'm all about Ornella or nothing Her brother was a soldier in the mob She slapped him hard and made him get a job He splits his knuckles in the lumberyard That's why I'm all about Ornella or nothing That's why I'm all about Ornella or nothing When I sleep, I slip away To a love that finds a way Open your heart, open your heart Because it takes two to love Open your heart, open your heart Because it takes two to love She is a missionary in her mind She spreads her lips instead of valentines She is a fighter and I'm not much lighter That's why I'm all about Ornella or nothing She ran away when she was 17 And I ran into her where I had been I won the lottery when I met she That's why I'm all about Ornella or nothing That's why I'm all about Ornella or nothing That's why I'm all about Ornella or nothing When I sleep I slip away To a love that finds a way When I sleep I slip away To a love that finds a way When I sleep I slip away When I sleep I slip away When I sleep I slip away . . .
