Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Never trust your own emotions They'll always let you down And the one that's closest to you May not always be around I never questioned The promises you made Every time I gave my heart I was betrayed What a fool That I should ever believe In love, truth and honesty All the time You just keep on hurting me Maybe everyone's a stranger I watch them come and go But I think everyone's in danger If they let their feelings show There's a lesson And a price you have to pay If you give your heart Dont let it be betrayed What a fool That I should ever believe In love, truth and honesty All the time You just keep on hurting me What a fool Every time I find I'm deceived Where is the love, truth and honesty If you see it Won't you bring it on home to me There's a lesson And a price you have to pay If you give your heart Dont let it be betrayed What a fool That I should ever believe In love, truth and honesty All the time You just keep on hurting me What a fool Every time I find I'm deceived Where is the love, truth and honesty If you see it Won't you bring it on home to me
