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 wanna read your mind
To know just what 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 just a brilliant disguise

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 (2)__________ with me
So tell me who I see
When I look in your eyes
Is that you baby
Or just a brilliant disguise

Now look at me baby
Struggling to do everything right
And then it all falls apart
(Oh) When out go the lights
I'm just a lonely pilgrim
I walk this world in wealth
I want to know if it's you I don't trust
'Cause I damn sure don't (3)__________ myself
Now you play the loving woman
I'll play the (4)________________ man
But just don't look too close
Into the palm of my hand
We stood at the altar
The (5)__________ swore our future was right
But come the wee wee hours
Well maybe baby the gypsy lied
So (6)________ you look at me
You (7)____________ look (8)________ 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 (9)________ he's sure of
