Smoke And Mirrors Songtext / Lyric

Stop what you're doing, get into this groove

Can't you see the signs?

Carried away on a wave of devotion

With music pumping, the lights are shining so bright



Stop what you're doing, get into this groove

Can't you see the signs?



Slip on out and slip on into his shoes

He dances like a plasticine machine

Some guys seize the day

Some guys got the way

Sweet old school attraction

He wants your lovin' tonight



He tells you you're no cheapskate reproduction

You're sure that he must be the real thing

Well, you're damned if you do

And you're damned if you don't

'Cause your friends don't like his haircut

But he wants your lovin' tonight






Oh, seven brides might meet the seven brothers

That doesn't mean that you are one of them

Seventeen other lovers left the scene

But you don't think that you're the go between

Girl, think about it

He wants your lovin' tonight



Oh, those days turn into years and you did nothing

And now you wish you'd been left out there on the shelf

Baby, you're an angel

Doin' things for him and not yourself



Those flaming eyes that flicker in the fast lane

Don't tell of broken hearts he's left behind

It's hard not to succumb

But you were stuck under his thumb

You won't have a word of it

Your mama's going out of her mind



This is not the thing she wanted for you

Chained up to the kitchen sink of life

Thirteen years of negligence

But you're too far in to jump the fence

I bet you ruled the day

When you took his lovin' that night



So hard for you to see through smoke and mirrors

How come you never look before you leap

Well, baby, you're an angel

You didn't know he's playing this for keeps



Did you see the good, the bad, the ugly?

They told you it was far too far to drop

Oh baby, you're an angel

Crying on a shoulder made of rock



He wants your lovin'

Tonight, my dear, tonight, your lovin'

Tonight, my dear, tonight, your lovin'

Tonight, my dear, tonight, your lovin'

Tonight, my dear, tonight, your lovin'



Tonight, my dear, tonight, your lovin'

Tonight, my dear

He wants your lovin' tonight

He wants your lovin' tonight

He wants your lovin' tonight



Tonight, my dear, tonight, your lovin'

Tonight, my dear

He wants your lovin' tonight
