Deceptions


It’s so sad to remember
The grotesque past embers
And I guess I’ll never be fooled again;
Every lil’ thing I ever did
It was because of love
The love I believed was from above
The love dat’ made me believe in love.

Wit’ da clouds I kissed the heavens
Wit’ da’ fog I hugged the oceans
Only to realize too late I was part of da’ story
The treacherous story of ya’ deception.



Everything I did for love
And now I know it’s over
I’ll never be fooled again.

Babe, you should’ve told me
You should’ve lemme know
That I loved you for convenience
Something I couldn’t fathom then
Something that was hidden by love
Something that was hidden by emotions
Thinking I was da’ only man in ya’ life
Sacrificing so much for love
And now dat’ I know it’s over
I’ll never be fooled again.

Babe, you should’ve told me
When you’re taken
When you didn’t need me there
Now the pain is so excruciating
Hating the memories
You lied and called me babe
When I was a desperado
I should’ve known I wasn’t part of you
I should’ve known I was a character
A hero in a shaggy-dog story
And now that it’s over
I’ll never be fooled again.
