Should I wonder why
You can't look in my eyes
Each time you try to tell me
The way you feel inside
I've been watching you
Changes you're going through
Cause you may not be dealing
With what you know is true
So I, I wanna be honest
And I think that I can help you if you let me try
We ought to be friends if we're to be lovers
So let me start by sharing some friendly advice
If it's not from the heart
Give it up before you start
With the masquerade babe
Cause you can't fake this
If it's not genuine
Don't even waste your time
With the masquerade babe
Cause you can't fake this oh no
In this game for fools
Where your emotions rule
Sometimes the hardest question
Is who's playing who
Soon you realize
True love knows no disguise
You go with what you're feeling
Cause feelings never lie
So I, I wanna be honest
And I think that I can help you if you let me try
We ought to be friends if we're to be lovers
So let me start by sharing some friendly advice
If it's not from the heart
Give it up before you start
With the masquerade babe
Cause you can't fake this
If it's not genuine
Don't even waste your time
With the masquerade babe
Cause you can't fake this
If it's not from the heart
Give it up before you start
