Watch­ing love drift­ing away
And I feel like I’m someone else
The hurt­ing is rough
Long are the days
And you have hurt me enough

Your moth­er she knows…
That some­thing is wrong with ya babe
How won­der­ing grows…
As u drift away here’s what I say

I read a book
And it’s your face
It’s your face now…Fake
Still my love for you was no mistake
I will always love you
Fake…

Hop­ing for love
Day after day
And it’s always someone else
The hurt­ing is rough
Long are the days
And you have hurt me enough

You’re burn­ing your hair
On your cigar­ette, oh baby
You’re turn­ing your nose up
At the clothes your girl­friend wears
Shoot I don’t care

I read a book
And it’s your face
It’s your face now…Fake

Still my love for you was no mistake…obvious baby
Fake…

I read a book
And it’s your face…reading you baby
Fake…
Still my love for you was no mistake
I will always love you

…I will always love you

Your moth­er she knows
That some­thing is wrong with ya babe
How won­der­ing grows
As u drift away
Shoot I don’t care

I read a book
And it’s your face…oh no
Fake…
Still my love for you was no mistake…it’s obvi­ous baby
Fake…

I read a book
And it’s your face…reading you baby
Fake…
Still my love for you was no mistake…
I will always love you…
You’re out of place…
