Hook, Line & Sinker I know you don't believe me When I tell you how I feel Flattery just tears you up inside You've done a lot of dying In your time Impaled you soul On transparent rhymes And slippery lines Buy another ticket on the merry-go-round As you think you're standing on higher ground A masquerade parading through your life The words never change Just the mask they wear In the endless circle of your affairs Like the same old taste of salt In the tears you cry I'm not asking you Hook, line and sinker To swallow me whole Hook, line and sinker (repeat) The years have taught your heart to mistrust Can you learn again to believe I know true love sometimes hurts But it's seldom wrong So listen to the dove inside your heart It's song is pure and clean I could never lie to you In a song I'm not asking you Hook, line and sinker To swallow me whole Hook, line and sinker (repeat) © 1998 John Mendenhall
