Midnight �Lover

[font=Kartika]I keep looking for Mr. Perfect
And all I find is Mr. Right Now.

It�s 3 o�clock, the city sleeps
You�re standing at my door
Looking for a little midnight love.
I open the door, invite danger in,
You lean down and kiss me
Say you love me, say you need me
I want to believe you though I know
Nothing you do is ever true
You use me, play pretend in the shadows
And I play along.
I want to believe in all that you do
I don�t want it to be a lie
So I turn the other way
Let whispers take me through the night.T
he sun rises and I look around
Hoping and praying
Though I know you�ll be long gone
Like a creature of the night
You slip away in the light.
Everything we shared can�t exist here
Where anyone can see.
They can never know
And I can never show
For no one would believe
My ghost of a nightmare was ever real.[/font]
