Smokey Robinson - The Love I Saw in You Was Just a Mirage Lyrics

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

Oh, just a minute ago your love was here
All of a sudden it seem to disappear
Sweetness was only heartaches camouflage
The love I saw in you was just a mirage

We use 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 now our meetings you avoid
And so my world you have destroyed

Oh, just a minute ago your love was here
Oh, baby, all of a sudden it seem 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 feel me with despair
By showing love that wasn't there
Oh, just like the desert shows a thirsty man
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

Oh, yeah, just like the desert shows a thirsty man
Green oasis where there's only sand
You lured me into something I should have dodged
