Mr. Mystique

MR. MYSTIQUE
Written By:
Barbria D. Haynes

VERSE I:
Seems like I’ve loved you forever
often times that love has blinded me
I’d heard the rumors and ignored them
deep inside I wanted our love to be.

Your words were sayin’ you loved me
but your actions said something else entirely
God knows though it all I tried to believe
Heaven knows I was way too naive

CHANGE:
You see I had my suspicions
call it a womans intuition
Something deep inside said you were playing me

I suspected it all the while
suspicions melted when you’d smile
What a fool I allowed myself to be.

CHORUS:
I played the fool -- one too many times
I lost my soul -- somewhere in your lies
Mr. Mystique, you know you had me
for a long time

I lost myself -- living in a fantasy
I lost my heart -- hoping what our love could be
Mr. Mystique, you know you had me
but not again, not this time.

VERSE II:
In an out of my life for so many years
Your charms fascinated me.
Just a touch or a word hello
and my love for you grew increasingly.

I began asking myself was this love real
then all of a sudden things started going left.
While in the wrong place at the right time
I noticed I was only getting the time you had left.

CHANGE:
You see I had my suspicions
call it a womans intuition
Something deep inside said you were cheating on me

then the truth came to the light
when I saw you with my own eyes
hugged up with some girl
who should’ve been me (ooh)

CHORUS:
I played the fool -- one too many times
I lost my soul -- somewhere in your lies
Mr. Mystique, you know you had me
for a long time

I lost myself -- living in a fantasy
I lost my heart -- hoping what our love could be
Mr. Mystique, you know you had me
but not again, not this time.

BRIDGE:
You had my mind, body and soul
and you tore them all down

I thought in you I’d found someone
who would always be around

You turned out to be Mr. Bad for Me, Mr. Selfish, Mr For Himself

And theres no one to blame but me for sticking around
while you were loving somebody else.

REPEAT CHORUS
