The Love I Saw In You Was Just a Mirage
There you were, beautiful
the promise of love was written on your face
you lead me on
with untrue kisses
oh you held me captive in your false embrace.
Quicker than I could bat and eye (I could bat an eye)
Seems you were tellin me goodby (tellin me goodbye)
oh oh just a minute ago your love was here
all of a sudden it seemed to disappear
Sweetness was only heartaches camouflage.
The love I saw in you was just a mirage
We used to meet in
romantic places
Oh you gave me illusion that your love was real.
Now all that's left
are lipstick traces
from the kisses you only pretended to feel.
And now our meetings your avoid (meetings you avoid)
And so my world you have destroyed (world you have destroyed)
Oh, just a minute ago your (love was here) oh baby
all of a sudden it seemed to (disappear)
yeah
The way you wrecked my life was like sabotage.
The love I saw in you was just a mirage.
Oh yeah.
You only fill me with dispair (fill me with dispair)
By showin love that wasn't there (love that wasn't there)
oh just like the desert shows a thirsty land.
A green oasis where's there's only sand.
You lured me into something I should've dodged.
Oh The love I saw in you was just a mirage.
ooo yeah
Just like the desert shows a yeah
A green oasis where's there's only
oooo
the promise of love was written on your face
you lead me on
with untrue kisses
oh you held me captive in your false embrace.
Quicker than I could bat and eye (I could bat an eye)
Seems you were tellin me goodby (tellin me goodbye)
oh oh just a minute ago your love was here
all of a sudden it seemed to disappear
Sweetness was only heartaches camouflage.
The love I saw in you was just a mirage
We used to meet in
romantic places
Oh you gave me illusion that your love was real.
Now all that's left
are lipstick traces
from the kisses you only pretended to feel.
And now our meetings your avoid (meetings you avoid)
And so my world you have destroyed (world you have destroyed)
Oh, just a minute ago your (love was here) oh baby
all of a sudden it seemed to (disappear)
yeah
The way you wrecked my life was like sabotage.
The love I saw in you was just a mirage.
Oh yeah.
You only fill me with dispair (fill me with dispair)
By showin love that wasn't there (love that wasn't there)
oh just like the desert shows a thirsty land.
A green oasis where's there's only sand.
You lured me into something I should've dodged.
Oh The love I saw in you was just a mirage.
ooo yeah
Just like the desert shows a yeah
A green oasis where's there's only
oooo
