I Looked Away
I had my eyes open
When he walked in
That kind of fellow is hard to follow
That kind of love is so hard to believe
Along with the pleasure
The need to deceive
I wanted to stay though I knew
I should leave
Small indiscretions that I learn to swallow
That kind of man is so hard to follow
And see it all torn down
I wanted to run but I learned how to stay
So I looked away
And I hid my feelings
If he could deceive
And my eyes might still betray
All I'm concealing
So I looked away
I tolerated his wandering gaze
I learned not to wonder
If his arm lingered
Too long around the waist of a friend
She lent herself to him
Threw her head back
I dreamed of her calling out
"Baby, please stay"
So I looked away
And I hid my feelings
If he could deceive
And my eyes might still betray
All I'm concealing
So I looked away
