Lyrics for Today, June 8, 2010

[etumon]

Not because they're particularly relevant, just 'cause I hadn't heard the song in years and I totally squeed in the car on my way to work. <3

(I don't actually care that I have the lyrics wrong, 'cause I totally remember and still hear it this way.)

"I laid a red rose on your front porch,
and wrote "I love you" on a note.
I rang your doorbell,
and turned to go...
But baby when the curtains moved,
I couldn't believe the view.

I saw the light in your window tonight.
I saw two shadows holding each other tight.
I know the truth when I look in your eyes.
But I saw the lie in your window tonight.

So take your cheatin' hands off my red dress,
'cause I ain't wearing this thing for you.
I see you clearly now,
and your lies, too.
They say that love is blind...
Well, baby, not this time.

I saw the light in your window tonight.
I saw two shadows holding each other tight.
I know the truth when I look in your eyes.
But I saw the lie in your window tonight.

Why, baby, why should I listen to you?
I cried, baby, cried - now I'm walkin' out the door.

They say that love is blind...
Well, baby, not this time.

I saw the light in your window tonight.
I saw two shadows holding each other tight.
I know the truth when I look in your eyes.
But I saw the lie in your window tonight."
