I Need a Disguise Lyrics

[Intro]
Ooh, yeah

[Verse 1]
There's a mask on the wall that I should be wearing
To keep you from seeing how I'm really feeling
I'd like to be cool and tell you goodbye (I think you better run now)
I've been such a fool, and now it's written all over my face
That I'm about to cry

[Chorus]
I need a disguise to hide my love
I need a disguise you've seen too much
I fall apart when you touch me with your eyes
I need a disguise
Oh, baby (ooh, baby)
I need to get wise
Oh, baby (ooh, baby)

[Verse 2]
I know just where you're going, and I know who you'll be seeing
If I swallow all my pride, there'll be nothing left of me
I'm so confused, it can't be denied (I think you better run now)
Either way, I lose and it's written all over my face
How I hurt inside
[Chorus]
I need a disguise to hide my love
I need a disguise you've seen too much
I fall apart when you touch me with your eyes
I need a disguise (I need a disguise)
Oh, baby (ooh, baby)
I need to get wise (I need to get wise)
Oh, baby (ooh, baby)

[Bridge]
I'm so confused
It can't be denied (I think you better run now)
Either way, I lose
And it's written all over my face
How I hurt inside

[Chorus]
I need a disguise to hide my love
I need a disguise you've seen too much
I fall apart when you touch me with your eyes
I need a disguise (I need a disguise)
Oh, baby (ooh, baby)
I need to get wise (I need to get wise)
Oh, baby (ooh, baby)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
[Outro]
Need a disguise, need a disguise
To hide these tears (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Need a disguise
To hide these tears (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Need a disguise, need a disguise
To hide these tears (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Need a disguise, need a disguise, need a disguise
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Need a disguise, need a disguise
To hide these tears (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Need a disguise
To hide these tears (yeah, yeah, yeah)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
