All Night Long
THE EMPTY WORDS
YOU SPOKE TO ME
THINKING THEY WERE
WHAT I NEEDED TO HEAR ...
WERE SPOKEN A MILLION TIMES
TO ME
NOW THEY FALL
UPON DEAFENED EAR ...
YOUR RIGHT
I AM LIKE NO OTHER
FOR TIME HAS HELPED ME CHANGE ...
TO HEAR THE LIE
BEHIND THE SMILE
FOR YOUR OWN VERY SELFISH GAIN ...
EVERY WORD A CONTRADICTION
FROM THE SENTENCE SPOKE BEFORE...
EACH GESTURE OF YOUR LOVE FOR ME
LIKE YOU ... I DO IGNORE ...
I AM TRULY LIKE NO OTHER
FOR INSIDE YOU I DO SEE ...
NOT LIGHT OF LOVE DOES SHINE THERE
SO ...YOU COULD NOT LOVE ME ...
I KNOW THERE WILL BE OTHERS
WHO WILL HEAR THESE WORDS YOU SPEAK ...
AND IF THEY WEEP FROM LONELINESS
INTO THEIR HEARTS YOU "LL SNEAK ...
IF ONLY I CAN EXPOSE YOU
SWEET TALKING LOVER MAN ....
MAYBE YOU WON'T BREAK A HEART
I WILL END YOUR PLAN ...
