I knew from the first night I met you
|
Something just wasn't quite right
|
Looked like an innocent stranger
|
But something was just out of sight
|
|
How could I know that you would use me
|
Fill out some plan of your own
|
I couldn't have known you'd abuse me
|
Leave me here hurt and alone
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
If it wasn't for you I'd be happy
|
If it wasn't for lies you'd be true
|
I know you could be just like you should
|
If it wasn't for bad you'd be good
|
|
I only saw what I wanted to see
|
You were a dream in my mind
|
I didn't know how you really could be
|
It didn't take long for me to find
|
|
I guess that it's my fault for seeing
|
Only what I wanted to see
|
I couldn't know you would be
|
A player just acting for me
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
I knew from the first night I met you
|
Something just wasn't quite right
|
Looked like an innocent stranger
|
But something was just out of sight
|
|
[Chorus]
|
