  CHORUS:

  G  D  Em   G
Ballerina, prima donna

Take your shoes and your shellac

Get out of my life and don?t come back
         D         G
I?ve played your games for far too long

  VERSE 1
    Em    D          C      G
Was it you who mesmerised me, or the Covent Garden lights
   C      G            Am      D
That thrilled and hypnotised me on those long fantastic nights?
C         D         Em       C
You nearly took me in, you wore that smile upon your face
  G     C        G       C        D
But I began to wake up when I saw behind the make-up and the lace

I won?t miss you when you?re gone

    Em      D          C        G
Now that I know you well, I see our love affair was just a fling
     C      G         A      D
So with these final words I leave this crazy circus ring
 C       D      Em       C
I cry no wasted tears as I show you to the door

You can love or you can hate me, but you won?t manipulate me anymore
