Brilliant Disguise
I hold you in my armsAs the band playsWhat are those words whispered, babyJust as you turn awayI saw you last nightOut on the edge of townI want to read your mind to knowJust what I've got in this new thing I've found
So tell me what I seeWhen I look in your eyesIs that you, babyOr just a brilliant disguise
I heard somebody call your nameFrom underneath our willowI saw something tucked in shameUnderneath your pillowWell, I've tried so hard babyBut I just can't seeWhat a woman like youIs doing with me
So tell me who I seeWhen I look in your eyesIs that you, babyOr just a brilliant disguise
Now look at me, babyStruggling to do everything rightAnd then it all falls apartOh, when out go the lightsI'm just a lonely pilgrimI walk this world in wealthI want to know if it's you I don't trust'Cause I damn sure don't trust myself
Now, you play the loving womanI'll play the faithful manBut just don't look too closeInto the palm of my handOh, we stood at the altarThe gypsy swore our future was brightBut come the wee wee hoursWell maybe, baby, the gypsy lied
So when you look at meYou better look hard and look twiceIs that me, babyOr just a brilliant disguise
Tonight our bed is coldI'm lost in the darkness of our loveGod have mercy on the manWho doubts what he's sure of
