Brilliant Disguise by Bruce Springsteen

I (1)________ you in my arms
As the (2)________ plays
What are those words whispered baby
Just as you turn away
I saw you last night
Out on the edge of town
I wanna read your mind
To know 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)__________ somebody call (6)________ name
From underneath our willow
I saw something tucked in shame
Underneath your pillow
Well I've tried so hard baby
But I just can't see
What a woman like you
Is (7)__________ (8)________ me
So tell me who I see
When I (9)________ in your eyes
Is that you baby
Or (10)________ a brilliant disguise

Now look at me baby
Struggling to do everything right
And (11)________ it all falls apart
(Oh) When out go the lights
I'm just a (12)____________ pilgrim
I walk this world in wealth
I (13)________ to know if it's you I don't trust
'Cause I damn (14)________ don't trust myself
Now you play the (15)____________ woman
I'll play the faithful man
But just don't look too close
Into the (16)________ of my hand
We stood at the altar
The (17)__________ swore our future was right
But come the wee wee hours
Well (18)__________ baby the (19)__________ lied
So when you look at me
You better (20)________ hard and (21)________ twice
Is (22)________ me baby
Or (23)________ a brilliant disguise

Tonight our bed is cold
I'm (24)________ in the darkness of our love
God have mercy on the man
Who (25)____________ what he's sure of
