Hi Lynn,

Goodness gracious, do my eyes deceive me? :o Or is this an original lyric for a song-challenge? grin You have such a reservoir of songs to draw from, you incredibly seem to find one to fit the bill on every occasion (which I did myself this time -- I'm in no way knocking it!). Either way, I'm happy to have you join the party!

So let me see...ah, deception. cool It's interesting how different people have taken the "Why?" to ask a sad question while others have chosen happy ones...

Anyhoo, I like the last couplet of the chorus:

Don’t ask me why I look so sad, don’t ask me why I need to cry,
If you just look into a mirror I’m sure you’ll see the reason why.

The last line of the first verse is a bit awkward to me, though. I thought the "someone" was kissing your man....and THEY is plural, so doesn't match the singular "someone"....maybe something like this?....

We used to have it all,
Or so I thought we did,
Until I heard some friends
Had seen you steal a kiss

I think you could probably tighten up the chorus a bit too....though the length of the lines does set up a nice contrast to the verses....

So in closing, let me thank you for playing...and please be sure to kick this guy to the curb!

Cheers,
Beth
