(Verse 1)

From the moment I dreamt you

Saw your face in every picture around

Saw your face in every faceless crowd

From the moment I loved you

Long before I'd even met you at all

I knew this day was going to come

I don't want to lose you now

By telling the truth

(Chorus)

I could lie just a little

Talk to you in riddles

Play the whole charade

I could stay in the middle

Play you like a fiddle

I could masquerade

(Post Chorus)

But I won't hide from you darling

I've got to make it clear

I'm not all that you're thinking

I'm not how I appear

(Verse 2)

It's a risk I'm taking

I'm trying to be myself so you see

While I'm trying to be a better me

There's no hesitating

I'll do what I should do

(Chorus)

So I could lie just a little

Talk to you in riddles

Play the whole charade

I could stay in the middle

Play you like a fiddle

I could masquerade

(Post Chorus)

But I won't hide from you darling

I've got to make it clear

I'm not all that you're thinking

I'm not how I appear

(Verse 3)

I won't blind your eyes

I won't see you surprised

I won't lie to you baby

You've got to realize

(Bridge)

I can masquerade

I can masquerade

Wear a masquerade

I could lie just a little

I could talk just a little

If I wanted to

I could lie

Yeah

Yeah

I could lie just a little

Talk to you in riddles

Play the whole charade

(Chrous 2)

I could stay in the middle

Play you like a fiddle

I could masquerade

I could masquerade

I could masquerade

(Outro)

And now that I've won you

Gonna give you everything that you need
