I'm not afraid to say I love you I'm not afraid to say that I really do I'm just afraid that I might lose you When you see me straight through So I keep my coolin' distance It's easy playing hard to get I'm just afraid to be a failure A mistake you would regret Love is just an illusion We're only dreaming to make believe It's a state of confusion Just an illusion I'm not afraid to be your hero I'm not afraid to be your clown I'm just afraid of what I will be Without you when you are not around Love is just an illusion We're only dreaming to make believe It's a state of confusion Just an illusion Oh so real (So strange) (So strange) (So strange) (So strange) I'm no afraid to be your lover I'm not afraid to be your man I'm just afraid to lose my covers For you to see How lost I am Love is just an illusion We're only dreaming and make believe It's a state of confusion Just an illusion Oh so real Love is just an illusion Just an illusion Oh, so real So real, so real So real, so real So real to me
