The Love I Saw In You Was Just A Mirage
There, you were beautiful
The promise of love was written on your face (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
You led me on with untrue kisses
Ooh, you held me captured in your false embrace (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Quicker than I can bat an eye (I bat an eye)
Since you were telling me goodbye (telling me goodbye)
Ooh, just a minute ago, your love was here (your love was here)
All of a sudden, it seem to disappear (disappear)
Sweetness was only heartaches camouflage (camouflage)
The love I saw in you was just a mirage (was just a mirage)
We use to meet in romantic places
Ooh, you gave the illusion that your love was real (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Now, all that's left are lipstick traces from the kisses you only pretended to feel (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
And now, our meetings you avoid (meeting you avoid)
And so, my world you have destroyed (oh, my world)
Ooh, just a minute ago, your love was here (your love was here), oh baby
All of a sudden, it seem to disappear (to disappear), yeah
The way you wrecked my life, was like sabotage (like sabotage)
The love I saw in you was just a mirage (just a mirage)
Oh, oh, yeah, you only feel me with despair (feel me with despair)
By showing love that wasn't there (love that wasn't there)
Ooh, just like the desert shows a thirsty man (shows a thirsty man)
Green oasis, where there's only sand (where there's only sand)
You lured me into something I should have dodged (I should have dodged)
Ooh, the love I saw in you was just a mirage (was just a mirage)
Ooh, yeah, just like a desert shows a thirsty man (shows a thirsty man), yeah
Green oasis, where there's only sand (where there's only sand), ooh, ooh
You lured me into something I shouldn't have dodged (I should have dodged)
The promise of love was written on your face (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
You led me on with untrue kisses
Ooh, you held me captured in your false embrace (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Quicker than I can bat an eye (I bat an eye)
Since you were telling me goodbye (telling me goodbye)
Ooh, just a minute ago, your love was here (your love was here)
All of a sudden, it seem to disappear (disappear)
Sweetness was only heartaches camouflage (camouflage)
The love I saw in you was just a mirage (was just a mirage)
We use to meet in romantic places
Ooh, you gave the illusion that your love was real (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Now, all that's left are lipstick traces from the kisses you only pretended to feel (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
And now, our meetings you avoid (meeting you avoid)
And so, my world you have destroyed (oh, my world)
Ooh, just a minute ago, your love was here (your love was here), oh baby
All of a sudden, it seem to disappear (to disappear), yeah
The way you wrecked my life, was like sabotage (like sabotage)
The love I saw in you was just a mirage (just a mirage)
Oh, oh, yeah, you only feel me with despair (feel me with despair)
By showing love that wasn't there (love that wasn't there)
Ooh, just like the desert shows a thirsty man (shows a thirsty man)
Green oasis, where there's only sand (where there's only sand)
You lured me into something I should have dodged (I should have dodged)
Ooh, the love I saw in you was just a mirage (was just a mirage)
Ooh, yeah, just like a desert shows a thirsty man (shows a thirsty man), yeah
Green oasis, where there's only sand (where there's only sand), ooh, ooh
You lured me into something I shouldn't have dodged (I should have dodged)
