Masquerade

From the moment I dreamt you

I saw your face in every picture around

Saw your face in every faceless crowd

From the moment I loved you,

Long before I' d even met you at all,

I knew this day was going to come

I don' t want to lose you now by telling the truth

So I could lie just a little

Talk to you in riddles

Play the whole charade

I could stay in the middle

Play you like a fiddle

I could masquerade

But I won' t hide from you darling

I' ve got to make it clear

I' m not all that you' re thinking

I' m not how I appear

It' s a risk I' m taking

I' m trying to be myself so you see

While I' m trying to be a better me

There' s no hesitating, I' ll do what I should do

I could lie just a little

Talk to you in riddles

Play the whole charade

I could stay in the middle

Play you like a fiddle

I could masquerade

But I won' t hide from you darling

I' ve got to make it clear

I' m not all that you' re thinking

I' m not how I appear

I won' t lie to you baby, you' ve got to realize

I can masquerade

I can masquerade, wear a masquerade

I could lie just little

I could talk just a little

If I wanted to

I could lie, yeah, yeah

I could lie just a little

Talk to you in riddles

Play the whole charade

I could stay in the middle

Play you like a fiddle

I could masquerade

I could masquerade

I could masquerade

And now that I' ve won you

Gonna give you everything that you need
