Matt Johnson - Smoke and Mirrors lyrics

[Verse 1] Stop what you're doing, get into this groove Can't you see the signs? Carried away in a wave of devotion With the music pumping The stars are shining so bright Stop what you're doing, get into this groove Can't you see the signs? [Verse 2] Slip on out and slip on into his shoes He dances like a plasticine machine Some guys seize the day Some guys got the way Sweet old-school attraction He wants your lovin' tonight [Verse 3] He tells you you're no cheapskate reproduction You're sure that he must be the real thing Well you're damned if you do And you're damned if you don't 'Cos your friends don't like his haircut But he wants your lovin' tonight [Verse 4] Oh, seven brides might meet the seven brothers That doesn't mean that you are one of them Seventeen other lovers left the scene But you don't think that you're the go-between Girl, think about it He wants your lovin' tonight [Bridge 1] Oh, those days turn into years and you did nothing And now you wish you'd been left there on the shelf Baby, you're an angel Doing things for him and not yourself [Verse 5] Those flaming eyes that flicker in the fast lane Don't tell of broken hearts he's left behind It's hard not to succumb But you were stuck under his thumb You won't have a word of it Your mama's going out of her mind [Verse 6] This is not the thing she wanted for ya Chained up to the kitchen sink of life Thirteen years of negligence But you're too far in to jump the fence I bet you rue the day When you took his lovin' that night [Bridge 2] So hard for you to see through smoke and mirrors How come you never look before you leap Well, baby, you're an angel You didn't know he's playing this for keeps Did you see the good, the bad, the ugly? They told you it was far too far to drop Oh, baby, you're an angel Crying on a shoulder made of rock [Outro] Aaaaah, aaaaaah He wants your lovin' Tonight, my dear, tonight, your lovin' Tonight, my dear, tonight, your lovin' Tonight, my dear, tonight, your lovin' Tonight, my dear, tonight, your lovin' Tonight, my dear, tonight, your lovin' Tonight, my dear He wants your lovin' tonight He wants your lovin' tonight He wants your lovin' tonight Tonight, my dear, tonight, your lovin' Tonight, my dear He wants your lovin' tonight
