Bruce Springsteen - Brilliant Disguise lyrics

[Bruce Springsteen - Brilliant Disguise lyrics]

I hold you in my arms as the band plays
What are those words whispered, baby
Just as you turn away
I saw you last night out on the edge of town
I wanna read your mind to know just what
I've got in this new thing I've found

So tell me what I see when
I look in your eyes is that you, baby
Or just a brilliant disguise?

I heard somebody call your name
From underneath our willow
I saw something tucked in
Shame underneath your pillow
Well I've tried so hard, baby
But I just can't see
What a woman like you is doing with me

So tell me who I see when I look in your eyes
Is that you, baby
Or just a brilliant disguise?

Now look at me, baby
Struggling to do everything right
And then it all falls apart
When out go the lights
I'm just a lonely pilgrim
I walk this world in wealth
I want to know if it's you I don't trust
'Cause I damn sure don't trust myself

Now you play the loving woman
I'll play the faithful man
But just don't look too close into
The palm of my hand we stood at the altar
The gypsy swore our future was right
But come the wee wee hours, well maybe, baby
The gypsy lied

So when you look at me
You better look hard and look twice
Is that me, baby
Or just a brilliant disguise?

Tonight our bed is cold
I'm lost in the darkness of our love
God have mercy on the man
Who doubts what he's sure of
