Lyrics

VERSE
I’ve always thought I was pretty strong
Never fall to a man with a siren’s song
But, of course, I could be wrong
If what happened can be taken that way

PRE-CHORUS
Cause I woke up the next day
Not so sure how I got where I lay

CHORUS
Now when the sun is shining bright, oh, I can see just fine
And I know what to do and, yes, what not to do
But when it’s late at night, by his grand design
At a his-place, you know, rendezvous
The mood is just right for deception by candlelight

SOLO/VERSE
I was fully possessed of my senses
Had up my hackles, all my defenses
But the candlelight that got in my eyes
Was a blessing in true disguise

Repeat CHORUS/BRIDGE
Deception can be a schemin’ thing
At first, that’s what I thought it was
But lookin’ back, I’m just lookin’ back at me
Cause the deception – if that’s what it was – was there for me to see

Repeat CHORUS/TAG
Yes, it was more than all right
In fact, it was one hell of a night
So I’ve decided it can be a cool thing
This deception by candlelight
