Deception lyrics

The Backroom Boys)


How can you say, `I love you`
When you mock me the way you do ?
How can I but your heart despise
When all you give to me are lies ?

Love is just an empty word
And no true sentiment conferred
You offer love that`s incomplete
I`ve looked for trust but found deceit

How can you say, `I love you` (Please don`t vex my soul this way)
When you mock me the way you do ? (Tormenting me from day to day)
How can I but your heart despise (I cannot keep my mind from you)
When all you give to me are lies ? (I`ll tell you what you want me to)

Love is just an empty word (God provides my strength and might)
And no true sentiment conferred (For I have been a Nazirite)
You offer love that`s incomplete (Cut my hair and as I speak,)
I`ve looked for trust but found deceit (Like other men, I shall be weak
