Brilliant Disguise by Bruce Springsteen

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

I (5)__________ (6)________________ call your name
From (7)____________________ our willow
I saw something tucked in shame
Underneath (8)________ pillow
Well I've (9)__________ so (10)________ baby
But I just can't see
What a woman like you
Is doing with me
So (11)________ me who I see
When I look in (12)________ eyes
Is (13)________ you baby
Or just a brilliant disguise

Now look at me baby
Struggling to do everything right
And (14)________ it all falls apart
(Oh) When out go the lights
I'm (15)________ a lonely pilgrim
I walk this world in wealth
I want to (16)________ if it's you I don't trust
'Cause I (17)________ sure don't trust myself
Now you play the loving woman
I'll play the faithful man
But just don't (18)________ too close
Into the palm of my hand
We stood at the altar
The (19)__________ (20)__________ our future was right
But come the wee wee hours
Well maybe (21)________ the (22)__________ lied
So when you (23)________ at me
You better look hard and look twice
Is that me baby
Or (24)________ a (25)__________________ disguise

Tonight our bed is cold
I'm (26)________ in the darkness of our love
God have (27)__________ on the man
Who doubts what he's sure of
