Love Is Not Real - Meat Loaf

There have been many sightings of love in truth

The skeptic in me longs for to see of love some proof

Only for you does this happen

Only for you do I care

Love is not real

Love is a hoax

It’s just a dream

I’ve had so many nights alone

Love is not here

Love is somewhere else

It’s somewhere far

No man I’ve ever known’s come close

It can be vicious, heartless, dire and cruel

In spite of my mind, my heart longs to find fire and fuel

Only for you do I do this

Only for you do I care

Love is not real

Love is a hoax

It’s just a dream

I’ve had so many nights alone

Love is not here

Love is somewhere else

It’s somewhere far

No man I’ve ever known’s come close

My girlfriend doesn’t want to know me

And my friends think I’ve lost the plot

I have become a liability

I got to do something but I don’t know what

I’m hearing voices and I can’t see straight

I think I might be going insane

Can’t make my own decisions

And I just can’t wait to mess it all up again

I’ve never thought that I would succeed

Beyond the wildest dreams I’ve ever dreamt

But everything’s become so hackneyed

Familiarity only breeds contempt

So I’m ruining your life, I’m bored with mine

I’m acting like I couldn’t care less

Another bottle and another line

Another stranger to undress

Next time you stab me in the back

You’d better do it to my face

Next time you stab me in the back

You’d better do it to my face

Next time you stab me in the back

You’d better do it to my face

Next time you stab me in the back

You’d better do it to my face

When you forget what you cannot forgive

The terms are so much easier to come do with

When we look at what we’re going through

And desaturated until everything is simple

Love or hate, love or hate

I have been searching

I have been searching my soul

I’ve seen the brightest star

I’ve seen the blackest hole

I’ve found a way to cope

With every twist of fate

Now everything is simple

Love or hate, love or hate

Next time you stab me in the back

You’d better do it to my face

And when that love comes crawling back to me

To say I’ve been away

But please let me stay with the, no way

Never again will I do this

Never again will I care

Love is not real

Love is a hoax

It’s just a dream

I’ve had so many nights alone

Love is not here

Love is somewhere else

It’s just a dream

I’ve had so many nights alone

Love is not real

Love is a hoax

It’s just a dream

I’ve had so many nights alone

Love is not here

Love is somewhere else

It’s somewhere far

No man I’ve ever known’s come so close
