2.- Lyrics

(Chorus 1)

Once I had a love and it was a gas

Soon turned out had a heart of glass

Seemed like the real thing only to find

Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind

Once I had a love and it was divine

Soon found out I was losing my mind

It seemed like the real thing but I was so blind

Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind

In between 'what I find is pleasing' and 'I'm feeling fine'

Love is so confusing

There's no peace of mind if I fear I'm losing you

It's just no good, you teasing like you do

(Repeat Chorus 1)

Lost inside adorable illusion

And I cannot hide

I'm the one you're using

Please don't push me aside

We coulda made it cruising

Yeah, riding high on love's true bluish light

Once I had a love and it was a gas

Soon turned out to be a pain in the ass

Seemed like the real thing only to find

Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind
