Smokey Robinson
Just a Mirage
[Verse 1]
There you were, beautiful
The promise of love was written on your face
You led me on with untrue kisses
You held me captive in your false embrace

[Pre-Chorus]
Quicker than I could bat an eye
Seems you were telling me goodbye

[Chorus]
Oh just a minute ago your love was here
All of a sudden it seemed to disappear
Sweetness was only heartache's camouflage
Love I saw in you was just a mirage

[Verse 2]
We used to meet in romantic places
You gave the illusion that your love was real
Now all that's left are mystic traces
Of the kisses you only pretended to feel

[Pre-Chorus]
And now our meetings you avoid
And so my world you have destroyed
[Chorus]
Oh just a minute ago your love was here (Love was here)
All of a sudden it seemed to disappear (Disappear)
The way you left my heart was like sabotage (Sabotage)
Love I saw in you was just a mirage

[Bridge]
Yeah
Yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
You only filled me with despair (Filled me with despair)
By showing love that wasn't there (Love that wasn't there)

[Chorus]
Oh just like the desert shows a thirsty man (Thirsty man)
A green oasis where there's only sand (Only sand)
You lured me into something I couldn't dodge (Couldn't dodge)
Love I saw in you was just a mirage

[Outro]
Just like the desert shows a thirsty man
A green oasis made of sand
Oh give me, yeah
And you wanna run away
