Charlatan

He walks into a posh nightclub
Scans the crowd thru the hubbub
Has you marked in a trice
A rich blonde with cascading curls, easy to entice;
Oh yes! you are his prize
Whispering sweet nothings would suffice
Soon has you blushing, Ah it’s your vice

Lies, Lies, Lies…..
He Lies, Lies, Lies…..He’s a charlatan

He bewitches you with his eyes
They are bright green and telling lies
Mesmerizes you with all his guiles
Makes you forget your mum’s old advice
Takes you to bed in his stranger’s guise
Will then show you all the highs
Along with tonight's moonrise

Lies, Lies, Lies…..
He Lies, Lies, Lies…..He’s a charlatan

You wake up alone in the bed
Realize that you’ve been an airhead
You look at the empty house around
Stand in the middle of your room dumbfound
Somewhere in your head there’s a dull aching
No point looking for the engagement ring
Too late, you’ve fallen for all his raving

Lies, Lies, Lies…..
He Lies, Lies, Lies…..He’s a charlatan

Soon you’ll be as obsessed as me
Yeah, I was his long island AMY
Believe me it’s just not my heart that I want
But till I find him, such taverns I shall haunt
For now he is far away from here,that am sure
Cavorting with another pretty he’s soon gonna lure
Forget any rule that still applies
Even she won’t get any chance at goodbyes

Lies, Lies, Lies…..
He Lies, Lies, Lies…..He’s a charlatan
