Lyrics

(Wang Chung / Peter Wolf) We met as friends of friends while still at school I was all you ever really knew When we met it was like a dream For all I knew we could not fail But now I know of your betrayal Living in the older part of town I worked all hours I could to bring us 'round Your career was alive for you But deep inside I watched it fail And now I know of your betrayal Your betrayal If only I could hold you close But now I know how love grows frail When I asked if you'd leave me Or 'bout the boyfriends you'd had You said you'd stay with me always And that you'd never be bad But I would notice a smile That you would hold within As if your vanity flirted With your knowledge of sin Now you're quiet and cold Your eyes just stare into space And if I ask you to talk You just dissemble your face And the smile that I hated Is now a frown of denial And that's how I know of your unspoken betrayal Oh, that's how I know of your unspoken betrayal Now I wish that I'd set you free But I was terrified that I would fail And now I know of your betrayal Your betrayal If only I could hold you close But now I know how love grows frail Oh now I know of your betrayal Now I know of your betrayal
