Love In Disguise - Todd Rundgren

Sometimes things fall apart

That’s God’s love in disguise

And when I break your heart

That’s my love in disguise

When you awake in pain

It should come as no surprise

I’m not so sure I care

But it still must be there

My love in disguise

And all you want are sweet lies

I see my problem now (Ian, don’t be a fool)

Her love was in disguise (Look what she’s done)

Some fear that won’t allow (She'll do it again)

Her love to shed this guise (Ian)

Pale, pure, and virgin things (She'll be our downfall)

So frail, it turns from my eyes (Don't believe your eyes)

It hides while I become

So hurt my heart is numb

When love is in disguise

The best you have is sweet lies (Lies)

(And then she’ll leave you all alone)

Possessiveness and jealousy

We recognize easily

That which we all claim to prize

No one can recognize

The poor young sap is unaware of

Things that we are all aware of

The knife she hides behind her back

Misery!

He’ll get his share of

The flowers must pollinate

The beasts are forced to mate

Woman and man decide

Yet we’re not satisfied

God’s love is in disguise

And all we want are sweet lies

Sweet lies

Sweet lies!
