Dead Giveaway Lyrics - Molly Hatchet

I want to tell you 

What happened to me 

A love-struck fool 

Too blind to see 

The old kiss and tell 

Broke her cleaver disguise 

I should have known better 

By the look in her eyes. 

Chorus: 

Dead giveaway, ain't no use in fakin' 

I thought it was love, I guess I was mistaken 

The sign on the wall said no prisoners taken 

It's a dead giveaway, I feel my heart is breaking. 

Same old story 

You've heard all along 

Love is blind, still you try to hold on 

Now she's gone, I'm lonely and blue 

If you don't watch out 

It'll happen to you. 

Chorus: 

Dead giveaway, ain't no use in fakin' 

I thought it was love, I guess I was mistaken 

The sign on the wall said no prisoners taken 

It's a dead giveaway, I feel my heart is breaking. 

Same old story 

You've heard all along 

Love is blind, still you try to hold on 

A case of mistaken identity 

I was blind back then 

But now I can see. 

Chorus: 

Dead giveaway, ain't no use in fakin' 

I thought it was love, I guess I was mistaken 

The sign on the wall said no prisoners taken 

It's a dead giveaway, I feel my heart is breaking.
