i can't tell you

when i look into your eyes
your innocent brown eyes
and see that smile upon your face
to watch you talk and hear you laugh
my heart just breaks to pieces cos i know so much of what you don't
and i know your perfect world
will come crashing down upon your soul

and i wanna take you in my arms
and keep you far away from all the harm
and hurt and pain he's gonna cause you
cos you've built your dreams and hopes around
this man who's gonna let you down
but you don't know it yet
the things i know and yet
i cant tell you

you keep making up excuses
for the way he's treating you
you say that he means well
and only time and love will tell
but no man should treat his lady like the way he's treating you
and the honey you have tasted
from his lying lips has spiked you
and you can't see clearly from
the web that he has spun
around your heart and mind

don't you know, that girl he's just using
you to fulfil his lust and cravings
and when he's done he'll drop you
like a rag doll in the mud

cos i wanna take you in my arms
and keep you far away from all the harm
and hurt and pain he's gonna cause you
cos you've built your dreams and hopes around
this man who's gonna let you down
but you don't know it yet
the things i know and yet
i cant tell you
