Inspired by a friend's nightmare. Written as if I were warning someone else about a bad person to become involved with.

You think you've found someone at last
Someone to treat you right
Planning your future, you don't see his past
It's really not that bright

You're in for a fall, I'm sorry but it's true
You'll be his "number five"
But it's not too late, if you only knew
This could help you to survive

(chorus)
He's really not what he seems
He's trouble from the start
He'll tear down all your dreams
and leave your broken heart
When you've cashed in on his deal
and you finally come in last
We'll see just how much love you feel
When you're kissing through the glass

I know that you don't want to hear
You can't believe it's true
It's not so easy to see things so clear
When he's got his hooks in you

Someday you'll look back on this and see
after you've been made to pay
That he wasn't all you hoped he'd be
This is why I'm here to say

(chorus)
