[The Jackson 5 - The Love I Saw in You Was Just a Mirage lyrics]
There you were, beautiful
The promise of love was written on your face
You led me on with untrue kisses
You held me captured in your false embrace
Quicker than I could bat an eye
Since you were telling me goodbye
Oh, just a minute ago your love was here
All of a sudden it seemed to disappear
Sweetness was only heartaches camouflage
The love I saw in you was just a mirage
You promised that happiness
We'd forever share
But all I have are memories of
Love that was never there
We use to meet in romantic places
You gave the illusion that your love was real
Now all that's left are lipstick traces
From the kisses you only pretended to feel
And now our meetings you avoid
And so my world you have destroyed
Oh, just a minute ago your love was here
All of a sudden it seemed to disappear
The way you wrecked my life was like sabotage
The love I saw in you was just a mirage
You brought me up just to throw me down
You left me and my dreams
Shattered all on the ground
Oh, oh, oh, you only filled me with despair
By showing love that wasn't there
Oh, just like the desert shows a thirsty man
Green oasis where there's only sand
You lured me into something
I should have dodged
The love I saw in you was just a mirage
To you I gave true love from deep within
You made me hungry for your love when
It was no deeper than your skin
Just like the desert shows a thirsty man
Green oasis where there's only sand
You lured me into
Into something I should have dodged
The love I saw in you was just
A mirage, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh oh
Just like the desert shows a thirsty man
Green oasis where there's only sand
You lured me into something
I should have dodged
The love I saw in you was
Just a mirage, ah, ah, ah
The love I saw in you was just a mirage
The love I saw in you was just a mirage
Just like the desert shows a thirsty man
A green oasis, uh huh
Where there's only sand
The promise of love was written on your face
You led me on with untrue kisses
You held me captured in your false embrace
Quicker than I could bat an eye
Since you were telling me goodbye
Oh, just a minute ago your love was here
All of a sudden it seemed to disappear
Sweetness was only heartaches camouflage
The love I saw in you was just a mirage
You promised that happiness
We'd forever share
But all I have are memories of
Love that was never there
We use to meet in romantic places
You gave the illusion that your love was real
Now all that's left are lipstick traces
From the kisses you only pretended to feel
And now our meetings you avoid
And so my world you have destroyed
Oh, just a minute ago your love was here
All of a sudden it seemed to disappear
The way you wrecked my life was like sabotage
The love I saw in you was just a mirage
You brought me up just to throw me down
You left me and my dreams
Shattered all on the ground
Oh, oh, oh, you only filled me with despair
By showing love that wasn't there
Oh, just like the desert shows a thirsty man
Green oasis where there's only sand
You lured me into something
I should have dodged
The love I saw in you was just a mirage
To you I gave true love from deep within
You made me hungry for your love when
It was no deeper than your skin
Just like the desert shows a thirsty man
Green oasis where there's only sand
You lured me into
Into something I should have dodged
The love I saw in you was just
A mirage, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh oh
Just like the desert shows a thirsty man
Green oasis where there's only sand
You lured me into something
I should have dodged
The love I saw in you was
Just a mirage, ah, ah, ah
The love I saw in you was just a mirage
The love I saw in you was just a mirage
Just like the desert shows a thirsty man
A green oasis, uh huh
Where there's only sand
