Oh, it's hard to keep believing when you know you've been deceived
She touched him through the senses that his mind could not control
Who'd tried of it and found that it was rotten
And blessed the night that chased their sight away
Betrayed by his own body and the hunger in his soul
A disillusioned dreamer who would never love again
Duvalier was a dreamer after all
Then smiling stepped aside and watched him fall
Whose burning beauty cut him like a knife
Preferring perfect strangers to the company of friends
Expecting next to nothing out of life
Till fortune found a girl who fanned a flame he thought had died
He shunned the world of mortals and the sound of human tongues
To face a lie and dare to try again, but there's nothing like a woman
Because strangers are so easily forgotten
With a spell of make believe to make a new believer of a man
To face a lie and dare to try again, but there's nothing like a woman
Duvalier took the fickle turns of fortune in his stride
Oh, it's hard to keep believing when you know you've been deceived
