I want to tell you

What happened to me

A love-struck fool

Too blind to see

The old kiss and tell

Broke her cleaver disguise

I should have known better

By the look in her eyes.

Chorus:

Dead giveaway, ain't no use in fakin'

I thought it was love, I guess I was mistaken

The sign on the wall said no prisoners taken

It's a dead giveaway, I feel my heart is breaking.

Same old story

You've heard all along

Love is blind, still you try to hold on

Now she's gone, I'm lonely and blue

If you don't watch out

It'll happen to you.

Chorus:

Dead giveaway, ain't no use in fakin'

I thought it was love, I guess I was mistaken

The sign on the wall said no prisoners taken

It's a dead giveaway, I feel my heart is breaking.

Same old story

You've heard all along

Love is blind, still you try to hold on

A case of mistaken identity

I was blind back then

But now I can see.

Chorus:

Dead giveaway, ain't no use in fakin'

I thought it was love, I guess I was mistaken

The sign on the wall said no prisoners taken

It's a dead giveaway, I feel my heart is breaking.
