(Wang Chung / Peter Wolf)

|
We met as friends of friends while still at school
|
I was all you ever really knew
|
When we met it was like a dream
|
For all I knew we could not fail
|
But now I know of your betrayal
|
|
Living in the older part of town
|
I worked all hours I could to bring us 'round
|
Your career was alive for you
|
But deep inside I watched it fail
|
And now I know of your betrayal
|
|
Your betrayal
|
|
If only I could hold you close
|
But now I know how love grows frail
|
|
When I asked if you'd leave me
|
Or 'bout the boyfriends you'd had
|
You said you'd stay with me always
|
And that you'd never be bad
|
But I would notice a smile
|
That you would hold within
|
As if your vanity flirted
|
With your knowledge of sin
|
Now you're quiet and cold
|
Your eyes just stare into space
|
And if I ask you to talk
|
You just dissemble your face
|
And the smile that I hated
|
Is now a frown of denial
|
And that's how I know of your unspoken betrayal
|
Oh, that's how I know of your unspoken betrayal
|
|
Now I wish that I'd set you free
|
But I was terrified that I would fail
|
And now I know of your betrayal
|
|
Your betrayal
|
If only I could hold you close
|
But now I know how love grows frail
|
Oh now I know of your betrayal
|
Now I know of your betrayal
|
