I used to know everything about you
But today when I tried to point you out
To one of my friends
I'd picked the wrong girl again
Don't see you in the crowd anymore
I think it's you but I can't be sure
(w/riff 1 x2)
You're wearing disguises
Occasionally a girl surprises me
When she turns out to be you.
(w/riff 1 x4)
Wearing disguises.
I don't think you want me to see you ever again
Just today I saw you dressed as a flower-bed
Last week you had a wig on your head
Mis-directing traffic in the street
And your shoes were too big for your feet
(w/riff 1 x2)
You're wearing disguises
Occasionally a girl surprises me
When she turns out to be you.
(w/riff 1 x4)
Wearing disguises.
F# (tacet) (instrumental)
(w/riff 1 x4)
I used to know everything about you
But today when I tried to point you out
To one of my friends
I'd picked the wrong girl again
Don't see you in the crowd anymore
I think it's you but I can't be sure
You're wearing disguises
Occasionally a girl surprises me
When she turns out to be you.
Wearing disguises.
You're wearing disguises
Wearing disguises
Wearing disguises
You're wearing disguises
Wearing disguises
Wearing disguises
Wearing disguises
