Brilliant Disguise by Bruce Springsteen

I hold you in my arms
As the band plays
What are those words whispered baby
Just as you turn away
I saw you last night
Out on the edge of town
I (1)__________ read your mind
To know just (2)________ I've got in this new (3)__________ I've found
So (4)________ me what I see
When I look in your eyes
Is that you baby
Or just a (5)__________________ disguise

I heard (6)________________ call your name
From underneath our willow
I saw (7)__________________ tucked in shame
Underneath (8)________ pillow
Well I've (9)__________ so hard baby
But I just can't see
What a (10)__________ like you
Is doing (11)________ me
So tell me who I see
When I (12)________ in your eyes
Is (13)________ you baby
Or just a brilliant disguise

Now look at me baby
Struggling to do (14)____________________ right
And then it all falls apart
(Oh) When out go the lights
I'm just a (15)____________ pilgrim
I (16)________ this world in wealth
I want to know if it's you I don't trust
'Cause I damn (17)________ don't trust myself
Now you play the (18)____________ woman
I'll play the faithful man
But just don't (19)________ too close
Into the palm of my hand
We stood at the altar
The gypsy swore our future was right
But come the wee wee hours
Well maybe (20)________ the (21)__________ lied
So when you (22)________ at me
You (23)____________ look hard and look twice
Is that me baby
Or just a brilliant disguise

Tonight our bed is cold
I'm lost in the darkness of our love
God have mercy on the man
Who doubts what he's sure of
