The Ruse

The Ruse

Gonna go with the flow
Believe one more lie
Even though I know
You love another guy

I will play the fool
While my heart is breakin'
I will play the fool
And there's no mistakin'

Your love it wasn't real
It don't matter how I feel
It's all just a ruse
And that's why I've got the blues

Can't think straight
While in such pain
I know that it's too late
There's nothin' to gain

And I will play the fool
While my heart is breakin'
I will play the fool
And there's no mistakin'

Your love it isn't real
You don't care how I might feel
I fell for your ruse
And now I've got the blues

And it's such a pity
How love loses its way
In every hood in every city
It happens every day

I was blinded by the hope
That I was the only one
But I was just a dope
You tricked to have your fun

And I played the fool
While my heart was breakin'
I played the fool
And there's no mistakin'

Your love was never real
You never cared how I might feel
It was all just a ruse
And that's why I've got the blues

Your deception, hoax, and guile
Your dodge, your ploy, your sham
Well they worked for a little while
But now I'm wise to your scam

I was blinded by the hope
That I was your only one
But I was just a dope
That you tricked to have your fun

I played the fool
As my heart was breakin'
Yes, I played the fool
And now there's no mistakin'

Your love was just a cheat
That left me sittin' on the street
Singin' about your ruse
And how I got the blues

Singin' about your ruse
And how I got the blues
Singin' about your ruse
