The Love I Saw in You Was Just a Mirage

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Michael Jackson] There you were, beautiful The promise of love was written on your face You led me on with untrue kisses You held me captured in your false embrace [Pre-Chorus: Michael Jackson] Quicker than I could bat an eye Seems you were telling me goodbye [Chorus: Michael Jackson] Oh, just a minute ago your love was here All of a sudden, it seemed to disappear Sweetness was only heartaches camouflage The love I saw in you was just a mirage [Post-Chorus: Michael Jackson] You promised that happiness we'd forever share But all I have are memories of love that was never there [Verse 2: Michael Jackson, Jackson 5] We used to meet in romantic places You gave the illusion that your love was real (Guess it was just a mirage) Now all that's left are lipstick traces From the kisses you only pretended to feel (To you, my love was very true) [Pre-Chorus: Michael Jackson] And now our meetings you avoid And so my world you have destroyed [Chorus: Michael Jackson] Oh, just a minute ago your love was here All of a sudden, it seemed to disappear The way you wrecked my life was like sabotage The love I saw in you was just a mirage [Post-Chorus: Michael Jackson] You brought me up just to throw me down You left me and my dreams shattered all on the ground [Pre-Chorus: Michael Jackson, Jackson 5] Oh, oh, oh, you only filled me with despair (With despair) By showing love that wasn't there (Wasn't there) [Chorus: Michael Jackson] Oh, just like the desert shows a thirsty man Green oasis where there's only sand You lured me into something I should have dodged The love I saw in you was just a mirage [Post-Chorus: Michael Jackson] To you I gave true love from deep within You made me hungry for your love when it was no deeper than your skin [Chorus: Michael Jackson] Just like the desert shows a thirsty man Green oasis where there's only sand You lured me into, into something that I should have dodged The love I saw in you was just a mirage, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Just like the desert shows a thirsty man Green oasis where there's only sand You lured me into something I should have dodged The love I saw in you was just a mirage, ah, ah, ah [Outro: Michael Jackson] The love I saw in you was just a mirage The love I saw in you was just a mirage Just like the desert shows a thirsty man A green oasis, uh-huh, where there's only sand
