Junior Campbell - Sweet illusion
Gotta go girl, can't take no more girl
A don't ya know... you're breakin' my heart girl
An' that everythin' I try to do, I can't seem to get to you
A there ya go girl, stagin' your show girl
Tryin' to take the world by the hand girl
But, little lady I've got news for you
Believe me when I tell ya
(BACKING) Your love's an illusion, just a sweet, sweet illusion
So, join the confusion an' show me the key to your soul
You've killed an emotion of a deep, deep devotion
So, take your emotion
An' leave me the tears an' the pain (and the pain)
So, say goodbye girl, an' don't tell no lies girl
But, ain't ya sad to leave me behind girl
Or, do ya really love to see the pain? (Sweet illusion)
That's left me like a broken man
There we go, girl. Hands on the show girl
Hope ya find what you're searchin' for girl
But, no matter how hard you may try (Sweet illusion)
(BACKING) Your love's an illusion
Just a sweet, sweet illusion (Sweet illusion)
Come, join the confusion (Come on)
An' show me the key to your soul (Oh, Baby)
You've killed an emotion of a deep, deep devotion (Deep devotion)
So, take your emotion (Come on)
An' leave me the tears an' the pain, an' the pain
I gotta go girl, I can't take no more girl
A don't ya know you're breakin' my heart girl
An' that everythin' I've tried to do
(Sweet illusion), I can't get next to you
Say goodbye girl, an' don't tell no lies girl
But, ain't ya sad to leave me behind girl
Or, do ya really love to see the pain
(Sweet illusion), of a sad, sad lonely man
So, there we go, girl. Hands on the show girl
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
