Can’t trust my eyes, can’t trust my ears
Things you say, things you do to me
Are you wise, are you sincere?
Are you for real? - that’s something new to me
It’s all down to who you trust
Do I twist and risk going bust
No one told me
Love’s so complicated
Dreams get so frustrated
Romance is overrated
Who do I believe?
In my time I’ve met some heels
Silver tongues spinning flattery
But their minds were wheels in wheels
To suck my blood, live off the fat of me
I’ll look after number one
Just in case I need to run
No one told me
Love’s so complicated
Dreams get so frustrated
Romance is overrated
Who do I believe?
