Intro:
Verse 1:
I hold you in my arms
As the band plays
What are those words whispered baby?
Just as you turn away
I saw you last night
Out on the edge of town
I wanna read your mind and know just what I've got in this
New thing I've found
Chorus 1:
So tell me what I see
When I look in your eyes
Is that you baby, or just a
Brilliant disguise
Break:
Verse 2:
I heard somebody call your name
From underneath our willow
I saw somethin' tucked in shame
Underneath your pillow
Well, I tried so hard baby
Hmm, but I just can't see
Oh, what a woman like you
Is doin' with me
Chorus 2:
So tell me who I see
When I look in your eyes
Is that you baby, or just a
Brilliant disguise
Break:
Bridge:
Now look at me babay
Strugglin' to do everything right
And then it falls apart
Oh, when out go the lights
I'm just a lonely pilgrim
I walk this world in wealth
I wanna know if it's you I don't trust
'Cause I damned sure now don't trust myself
Verse 3:
Now, you play the lovin' woman
I'll play teh faithful man
But just don't look too close
Into the palm of my hand
Oh, we stood at the alter
The gypsy swore our future was right
Oh, but come the wee wee hours, maybe baby
The gypsy lied
Chorus 3:
So when you look at me
You better look hard and look twice
Is that me baby or just a
Brilliant disguise
Break:
Outro:
Tonight our bed is cold
I'm lost in the darkness of our love
God have mercy on the man
Who doubts what he's sure of
