Love I Saw In You Was Just A Mirage

Smokey Robinson · Other Songs - Smokey Robinson

There you were,

Beautiful

The promise of love was written on your face

You led me on

With untrue kisses

Oh, you held me captive in your false embrace

Quicker than I could bat an eye

Seems you were telling me goodbye

Just a minute ago your love was here

All of a sudden it seemed to disappear

Sweetness was only heartaches camouflaged

The love I saw in you was just a mirage

We used to meet in

Romantic places

Oh, you gave the illusion that your love was real Now all that's left

Are lipstick traces

From the kisses you only pretended to feel

And all our meetings you avoid



And so my world you have destroyed

Just a minute ago your love was here, oh baby

All of a sudden it seemed to disappear, yeah

The way you wrecked my life was like sabotage

The love I saw in you was just a mirage

Oh yeah, you only filled me with despair

By showin' love that wasn't there

Just like the desert shows a thirsty man

A green oasis where there's only sand

You lured me into something I should have dodged, oh

The love I saw in you was just a mirage

Oh, yeah

Just like the desert shows a thirsty man

A green oasis where there's only sand, ooh

You lured me into something I should have dodged
