There was something in your voice That was telling me don't be too sure Arousing my suspicions I have never felt before I thought we had it made I thought you'll never go away But now you're suddenly like a stranger And you're leaving our love behind Of all the things I was every planning for This was the last thing on my mind When I looked into your eyes There was something you weren't telling me But in my confusion I just couldn't see If there was any doubt I thought we would work it out But now you're suddenly like a stranger And you're leaving our love behind Of all the things I was every planning for This was the last thing on my mind There was something in your voice That was telling me don't be too sure Arousing my suspicions I have never felt before But now you're suddenly like a stranger And you're leaving our love behind Of all the things I was every planning for This was the last thing on my mind
