Brilliant Disguise

[Verse 1] I hold you in my arms There's a band playing What are those words whispered, baby Just as you turn away? Well I saw you last night Out on the edge of town I want to read your mind and know just what I got in this New thing I found [Chorus] So tell me what I see When I look into your eyes Is that you, baby Or just a brilliant disguise? [Verse 2] I heard someone call your name Underneath my willow I saw something tucked in shame Underneath your pillow Well I tried so hard, baby But I just can't see What a woman like you Is doing with me [Chorus] [Verse 3] Now look at me, baby Struggling to do everything right And then it all falls apart When out go the lights I'm just a lonely pilgrim I walk this world in wealth I want to know it's you I don't trust Because I damn sure don't trust myself Now you play the loving woman I play the faithful man Just don't look too close Into the palm of my hand When we stood at the altar The gypsy swore our future looked right But in the wee, wee hours, maybe baby The gypsy lied [Chorus] So when you look at me You better look hard and look twice Is that me, baby Or just a brilliant disguise? [Verse 4] Tonight our bed is cold I'm lost in the darkness of our love God have mercy on a man Who doubts what he's sure of
