You were wrapped up in the moment of believing
Fascination and excitement fill your dazzled mind
Your friend was so sincere he could not be deceiving.
He spoke impressively and his smile was reassuring
His was persuasive and thoughts of doubt were blind
You were wrapped up in the moment of believing.
You felt complimented when he asked for a loan
Promises of double dividends you will find…
Your friend was so sincere he could not be deceiving
Before you knew it he was confidently driving a new car
Lobster and fine wine confirmed success, while you dined
You were wrapped up in the moment of believing.
When it came time to pay the bill, he disappeared
Called on urgent business; leaving you behind,
Your friend was so sincere he could not be deceiving.
Your stomach began to have a queasy feeling
As you sipped your cooling coffee.
You are wrapped up in the moment of disbelieving.
Your friend was sincere; how could he be so deceiving?
