Lyrics

Only the lines marked with an asterisk (*) are used in the Dancing Stage cut of Heart Of Glass. The jukebeat cut repeats the lines "In between" to "You teasing like you do" once more before fading out.

Once I had a love and it was a gas
Soon turned out had a heart of glass
Seemed like the real thing, only to find
Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind

Once I had a love and it was divine
Soon found out I was losing my mind
It seemed like the real thing but I was so blind
Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind

In between
What I find is pleasing and I'm feeling fine
Love is so confusing, there's no peace of mind
If I fear I'm losing you it's just no good
You teasing like you do

* Once I had a love and it was a gas
  Soon turned out had a heart of glass
  Seemed like the real thing, only to find
  Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind

  Lost inside
  Adorable illusion and I cannot hide
  I'm the one you're using, please don't push me aside
  We coulda made it cruising, yeah

  La, da, da, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
  La, da, da, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
  La, da, da, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
  Yeah, riding high on love's true bluish light

  Ooh, oh, ooh, oh
  Ooh, oh, ooh, oh
