Dead Giveaway

I want to tell you
What happened to me
A love-struck fool
Too blind to see
The old kiss and tell
Broke her cleaver disguise
I should have known better
By the look in her eyes.
Chorus:
Dead giveaway, ain't no use in fakin'
I thought it was love, I guess I was mistaken
The sign on the wall said no prisoners taken
It's a dead giveaway, I feel my heart is breaking.
Same old story
You've heard all along
Love is blind, still you try to hold on
Now she's gone, I'm lonely and blue
If you don't watch out
It'll happen to you.
Chorus:
Dead giveaway, ain't no use in fakin'
I thought it was love, I guess I was mistaken
The sign on the wall said no prisoners taken
It's a dead giveaway, I feel my heart is breaking.
Same old story
You've heard all along
Love is blind, still you try to hold on
A case of mistaken identity
I was blind back then
But now I can see.
Chorus:
Dead giveaway, ain't no use in fakin'
I thought it was love, I guess I was mistaken
The sign on the wall said no prisoners taken
It's a dead giveaway, I feel my heart is breaking.
