The Love I Saw In You Was Just A Mirage

The Love I Saw In You Was Just A Mirage - Smokey Robinson & The Miracles

Written by：Smokey Robinson/Marvin Tarplin

There you were beautiful

The promise of love was written on your face

You led me on with untrue kisses

You held me captured 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 camouflage

The love I saw in you was just a mirage

You promised

We used to meet in romantic places

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 now our meeting you avoid

And so my world you have destroyed

Just a minute ago your love was here

All of a sudden it seemed to disappear

The way you wrecked my life was like sabotage

The love I saw in you was just a mirage

You brought me up just to throw me down

By showing 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

The love I saw in you was just a mirage

Just like the desert shows a thirsty man

A green oasis where there's only sand
