Bruce Springsteen - Brilliant Disguise Lyrics
I hold you in my arms
As the band plays
What are those words whispered baby
Just as you turn away
I saw you last night
I wanna read your mind
To know just what I've got in this new thing I've found
So tell me what I see
When I look in your eyes
Is that you baby
Or just a brilliant disguise
I heard somebody call your name
From underneath our willow
I saw something tucked in shame
Well I've tried so hard baby
But I just can't see
What a woman like you
Is doing with me
So tell me who I see
When I look in your eyes
Is that you baby
Or just a brilliant disguise
Now look at me baby
Struggling to do everything right
And then it all falls apart
When out go the lights
I'm just a lonely pilgrim
I walk this world in wealth
I want to know if it's you I don't trust
'Cause I damn sure don't trust myself
Now you play the loving woman
I'll play the faithful man
But just don't look too close
Into the palm of my hand
We stood at the alter
The gypsy swore our future was right
But come the wee wee hours
Well maybe baby the gypsy lied
So when you look at me
You better look hard and look twice
Is that me baby
Or just a brilliant disguise
Tonight our bed is cold
I'm lost in the darkness of our love
God have mercy on the man
Who doubts what he's sure of

"God have mercy on the man that doubts what he's sure of" !!!
Damn, that the hardest thing somebody can whish upon you !!!
One of my all time favorite songs. With New Years Eve around the corner it brings back memories of driving from NJ to Cleveland to see Bruce's New Years Eve concert so many decades ago. Now that was a great way to bring in the New Year! Love you Bruce and so miss Clarence.
This is just a beautiful song, lyrics, video, music, voice, expressions, everything about it is just beautiful. You can actually picture a man going through the feelings described in this song. A really powerful yet underrated song.
Recently discovered that this is the sexiest video ever.
One oh bruces best songs ever🥰
The Boss. Sin más, porque no necesita presentación. Te Amo. Kiss from Spain. Happy 2020
i just love him so much..
Boss is Brilliant
needs no disguise
He's the boss
Brilliant Video - bravo production!
Brilliant song , Brilliant man
❤️❤️❤️
AWESOME
This, Tunnel of Love, Wrestler, and Western Stars were pop perfection singles
but Bruce has got to stop going to opening of envelopes -bc seems a bit desperate 4 an artist of his stature - he puts out too much mediocre that these gems get buried in. Just chill dude..you're the man...no need to keep churin average out....be much happier with a gem every now and then and you maintaining your cool
Brilliant song, brilliant album. His best in my opinion.
God have mercy on the man who doubts what he's sure of.
love love love love love love love!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sounds like it was a live performance his voice really comes through
It was recorded right then & there!!!
Looks like the vocals are live and the music is recorded
Amo mais que chocolate❤❤
This and Human Touch are probably the most deeply felt and evocative songs that Bruce wrote and sand at this time in his career. They are masterpieces of a genre of emotional honesty and maturity as any we will ever hear. He understands and communicates what it means to be human.
I'm brazilian woman... This music make my head a long time ago... And today, when I listen it, it still balances me very much! I love you Bruce!
Mary💔🌷.
"Tonight our bed is cold, I'm lost in the darkness of our love
; God have mercy on the man who doubts what he's sure of" = the final two lines of the song. Just incredible.
You can see, hear and feel the pain in this song. It’s always brought tears to my eyes.😢
Great song .
in Italia sono le ore 18:05 Bruce un abbraccio a lei e alla sua famiglia , Cinzia
This song makes me wonder if you were ever what or who I thought you were. I pretty much doubt it ~ there were signs early on but I guess I just wanted you to be who I thought you were. You knew all my secrets and boy you were great at hiding yours. Remember Kathy from quad com? She warned me about you early on and I should have listened. I'm not blameless but it's really hard to fight to keep things together when there is more than 2 in a relationship (lol...2? Who knows how many) you should have let me go 8 years earlier ~ I don't get that one at all. Anyway, it is what it is.
Sorry to read about this. But it spoke to me as much as anything ive read in a while. thanks
I saw the original video of this years ago and it was just Bruce and the guitar no backing they must have added it later on and it was painful to watch but also brilliant because you could feel and hear the pain.
One of his very best ever. A connectedness to the soul we seldom get in popular music.
I love this track specially when it's him at the end 👏👏👏
V v. CoBb,
What a song!!
great song lyrics and looks
workings man hero didnt do any day of trade labour in his life,
You are a bitter loser. Sad.
Never moved his fingers on the guitar.
One of those songs I remember from my fist love in college. I bet this song would make both of us do things we regret, considering we aren't married to each other. But still...the emotions it brings back. Holy cow!
I Love you Bruce.❤️
Of course he is a great great singer and musician but i just want to say that he is a truly brilliant lyricist par excellence one of the best ever.
100%. A+. What brilliant song lyrics. I love you, Bruce Springsteen. You really are THE BOSS. <3
yup, something else. lol. one can put a spin on anything 110% who could ask for more, life is one big disguise>3 The shadow cast can sometimes outlive one, but you gotta see it first for what it is,
@ONNIE TALONE Thanks for your thoughts!
,glad he is making all his work available;e, . I will never complain, lol, life is a good cause of artist like him, respect all as I was taught, grateful for that
@ONNIE TALONE I am grateful, too. Gratitude is everything! Have a wonderful day.
@ladykws yes love life, we understand must play the hand, some are real special, I guess that is why you make an honest woman out of them, even if they are only children? love, starts young, for some, like to move on, but how can one just blow your 30 old trees like it never existed, women always look at the mirror but forget the mirror their soul mate looks in does not age always see the kid, but how could one betray a trust only given to few if any, they say beautiful, but yet cast a shadow, try and figure out this like is gonna drive one nuts, either your on the ball from the word ready set go, yes one needs to wake up, work is just a job that is brought home, yes as she would say express yourself, beauty that never aged, for some strange reason eyes never saw that, how can that be, ya says beautiful, lol, if only new sorry to have failed her, plain to see, now, but whey knew, but had I put my skill would have had it nailed, dam it
Well written song that has a twist The boss is a great rocker but writes a country hard luck tune
The Boss is the Boss...!
Can't wait till he comes back to NZ..!
I'll be there hell or high water....😜
how will u respond when the good lord takes
Simplemente inmejorable.
for me the last part of this video when stares right at the camera and his expression clearly shows how he questions his own feelings.
Thank you, God, for giving us Bruce Springsteen.
Love this tune!
sorry me a red wine drunken in texas
reminde ulla or ella
We can all relate
Brilliant ! 😭
Storytelling, poet, musician, songwriter, legend. The boss just oozes talent and this song is only one of he's many brilliant examples.
Enjoy this one Tooler 👍
Love it Brice for ever
This song just kills me.... Love it so much......
Amor meu ♥
Drowning in a beauteous dream....E
