Guess there was a time I thought that love
was something deep inside
Something more or less within ourselves
And I thought anything could happen,
our tomorrows could be gone
But the feelings deep inside us would go on
I suppose I must have heard the
tale a thousand times before
Of this love that comes to each
of us to last forevermore
And so it's really no surprise,
after hearing how it ought to be
That I really thought you'd
Now I see you're low just to gain,
I'll go on living just the same
There's nothing else for me to do
Now I'll have the sense to save my time,
I'll leave my foolish days behind
Cause loving you was maybe wise
and made me stop to realize
And now I see it very clearly,
that was just the state of mind
And I used to think I'd always
have you standing by my side
Cause I thought the feelings in
you were too strong to be denied
And I thought anything could happen,
that tomorrows could be gone
But the feelings deep inside us will go on
Now I see your love was just a lie
I'll go on living till I die
Perhaps I'll even get to lie, dear
Now I light my lamp and drink my wine
I'll leave my foolish days behind
Cause loving you is maybe why
You made me stop to realize
And now I see you very clearly
Love is just a state of mind
Now I see your world just again
I'll go on living just the same
Cause loving you has made me wise
Has made me stop to realize
And now I see you very clearly
Love is just a state of mind
Now I know your love is nothing but a lie
Cause now I've got the sense to realize
What's there before my eyes
