I Can't Help but Deceive You Little Girl - Iron Butterfly

I cannot help but deceive you, little girl

My girl

So, I guess that I’d better leave you, little girl

My girl

Hey!

(hey)

Well, I know there’d be a heartache (there'd be heartache)

If you were to become my bride (become his bride)

But at least it’s a true world

And hide in the churning inside

My girl

All right!

Huh!

Yeah!

Now that we know there’d be heartache

If you were to become my bride

Let’s face it girl, it’s time to break up

It’s time to let our fortunes be our guide

You know I hate

The lonely part of leaving you behind

But face it, babe

It’s the only way

We’d ever have peace of mind

A couple of lonely lovers for all time
