She dances
He watches
She sighs
Remember
Love needs no disguise

In motion
That cannot deny
She's saying
Love needs no disguise

And if the park gates are closed
Remember we toured the skys
And if the 'friends' all go home
You know love needs no disguise

He dances

And we realised
Remember
Love needs no disguise

In simple embraces
They lie
In darkness
Love needs no disguise

And we can lock all the doors
Forget the reasons and fame
There's no deceiving inside
You know we'll all be the same
