Notes: I don't own Moulin Rouge or the characters, though I wish I owned Christian... don't we all?
"The story - it's about love!"
But how much love can a body take?
How many tears before the soul breaks?
How many heartaches before the spirit dies?
How many dreams destroyed, how many vicious lies?
It's not enough to think of yourself
You can't put people's feelings up on a shelf
Let time forget, you're not the only two
Falling in love isn't reserved just for you
There will always be another heart to break
It's impossible to avoid the mistake
You may hold her heart in the palm of your hand
But her admirers are like a million grains of sand
If she chooses just one, many more will feel the pain
Love for one is another's bane
So think really hard before you make your choice
And your feelings and love take vibrant voice
You may have your songs, your words, your trust
But never forget that she once dealt in lust
The underworld creature whom you've chosen to keep
Will cause more than one deluded man to weep
Remember, my boy, where the power lies
Remember who you are in the other man's eyes
Tread carefully, boy! You're on a treacherous trail
One misstep, and everything will fail...
