If you really love someone you will not judge them for their looks.

I will not fool you with a pretense

For should we happen to know each other

It is not what you now see but what I have kept from you

That you will keep forever

I will not fool you with a pretense

For I have tried this once

He kissed my face for the pleasure it gave him

To kiss such a pretty thing

But when the fancy frills had worn away

He was disappointed in me

And so he left to find

Another short – lived glory

When she had no more illusion

He was left to the saddest conclusion

He turned around to look for me

To find me already with another man

Who loved me

Not for what I looked like

But for who I am

A lover's worst enemy

Weaknesses weakest defense

Something you should not do if you wish to find love

Pretense
