Yes there was a time I thought that love was something deep inside Something more or less within ourselves That couldn't be denied 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 forever more And so it's really no surprise After hearing how it ought to be That I really thought you'd go on wanting me Now I see your love was just a game 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 has made me wiser Made me stop to realise, and Now I see it very clearly Love is just a state of mind 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 Our tomorrows could be gone But the feelings deep inside us would 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 like it Now I'll light my lamp and drink my wine I'll leave my foolish days behind 'Cause loving you has made me wiser Made me stop to realise, and Now I see it very clearly Love is just a state of mind Now I see your love was just a game I'll go on living just the same 'Cause loving you has made me wiser Made me stop to realise, and Now I see it very clearly Love is just a state of mind Now I know your love was nothing But a lie and I'll tell you why Now I've got the sense to realise What was there before my eyes
