I Looked Away

I had my eyes open when he walked in That kind of fellow is hard to follow That kind of love is so hard to believe Along with the pleasure, the need to deceive I wanted to stay, though I knew I should leave Small indiscretions that I learned to swallow That kind of man is so hard to follow And see it all torn down I wanted to run, but I learned how to stay So I looked away And I hid my feelings if he could deceive And my eyes might still betray All I'm concealing So I looked away I tolerated his wandering gaze I learned not to wonder if his arm lingered Too long around the waist of a friend She lent herself to him and threw her head back I dreamed of her calling out, "Baby, please stay" So I looked away And I hid my feelings if he could deceive And my eyes might still betray All I'm concealing So I looked away
