I can’t be me
You can’t be you
We’re living in disguise
We wear a mask upon our face
You only see our eyes

I can’t see you
You can’t see me
It’s all a masquerade
I never know just who you are
We’re playing at Charades

Playing Charades
A silly game
That ends with a surprise
We hide our feelings
No one wins
Two masters of disguise

I need to know the secrets
That you keep locked up inside
The way you really feel
And the things you try to hide
Tell me all your secrets
And I’ll tell you all of mine
And we can stop this foolish game
And play another time

Let me see the real you
So put your mask aside
Tell me what is in your heart
Your secrets to confide
This masquerade must reach an end
Before the feeling fades
No one can win the game of love
While playing at Charades

I don’t like surprises
or silly escapades
Love can break your heart
when you play the game Charades

Playing Charades
A silly game
That ends with a surprise
We hide our feelings
No one wins
Two masters of disguise
