MEAT LOAF - Love Is Not Real / Next Time You Stab Me In The Back lyrics

rate me

There have been many sightings

Of love in truth

The skeptic in me longs for

To see of love some proof

Only for you does this happen

Only for you do I care

Love is not real

Love is a hoax

It's just a dream

I've had so many nights alone

Love is not here

Love is somewhere else

It's somewhere far

No man I've ever known's

Come close

It can be vicious, heartless,

Dire and cruel

In spite of my mind, my heart longs

To find fire and fuel

Only for you do I do this

Only for you do I care

Love is not real

Love is a hoax

It's just a dream

I've had so many nights alone

Love is not here

Love is somewhere else

I's somewhere far

No man I've ever known's

Come close

My girlfriend doesn't want

To know me

And my friends think

I've lost the plot

I have become a liability

I got to do something

But I don't know what

I'm hearing voices and

I can't see straight

I think I might be going insane

Can't make my own decisions

And I just can't wait

To mess it all up again

I never thought that

I would succeed

Beyond the wildest dreams

I've ever dreamt

But everything's become so

Hackneyed

Familiarity only breeds contempt

I'm ruining your life

I'm bored with mine

I'm acting like I couldn't care less

Another bottle and another line

Another strange to undress

Next time you stab me in the back

You'd better do it to my face

Next time you stab me in the back

You'd better do it to my face

Next time you stab me in the back

You'd better do it to my face

When you forget

What you cannot forgive

The terms are so much easier to

Come to with

When we look at what

We're going through

And desaturate

Until everything is simple

Love or hate

Lover or hate

I have been searching my soul

I've seen the brightest star

I've seen the blackest hole

I've found a way to cope with every

Twist of fate

Now everything is simple

Love or hate

Love or hate

Next time you stab me in the back

You'd better do it to my face

And when that love comes crawling

Back to me to say

I've been away

Now please let me stay with the

No way

Never again will I do this

Never again will I care

Love is not real

Love is a hoax

It's just a dream

I've had so many nights alone

Love is not here

Love is somewhere else

It's just a dream

I've had so many night's alone

Love is not here

Love is somewhere else

It's somewhere far

No man I've ever known's

Come close
