Here's some mud in your pretty eye
But please drop in if you're passing by
I'll tell you how much I hate you, girl
Perhaps that isn't true (Perhaps that isn't true)
Though, it's not the way it seems (It's not the way it seems)
And you can shatter my illusions (Shatter my illusions)
But you'll never haunt my dreams again
Ever again

And to those who are snide
And to those who connive
I say love cannot be contrived
Love cannot be denied
I've always tried to be true to myself (True to myself)
And if you ask me to explain (Ask me to explain)
The rules of the game (The rules of the game)
I'll say you've missed the point again (You've missed the point again)
Not again

And to those who are snide
And to those who connive
I say love cannot be contrived
Love cannot be denied
I've always tried to be true to myself (True to myself)
And if you ask me to explain (Ask me to explain)
The rules of the game (The rules of the game)
I'll say you've missed the point again (You've missed the point again)
And again
