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 blind your eyes, I won’t see you surprised   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
