Lyrics
You sure look fine tonight, in the beer sign light.
You look attractive tonight under the illumination of beer signs.
Why did you seem surprised when I saw through your disguise.
Why were you surprised when I saw through the facade or disguise you put on?
All your friends were there and no one had a care.
All your friends were present, seemingly carefree.
They all just looked away in this Honky Tonk Masquerade.
They all ignored the truth, engaging in a deceptive atmosphere of a Honky Tonk Masquerade.
You should have known I knew all along.
You should have realized that I knew your true self all along.
That I could see through you right or wrong.
I could see through your actions, whether right or wrong.
I didn't need a clue.
I didn't need any hints or clues.
I didn't even have to ask,
I didn't even have to ask; you revealed yourself through your actions.
You saw your own reflection in the glass.
You saw your own reflection in the glass, a metaphor for self-awareness.
I'd like to see you home, but I know you're not alone
I'd like to take you home, but I know you're not alone.
You seem to fit right in, as you tell me where you've been
You blend in easily, recounting where you've been.
You say there's not that much to tell but I know you oh too well
You claim there's not much to tell, but I know you too well.
Your eyes give you away in this Honky Tonk Masquerade.
Your eyes betray you in this deceptive Honky Tonk Masquerade.
You should have known I knew all along.
You should have known that I was aware all along.
That I could see through you right or wrong.
I could see through you, regardless of whether you were right or wrong.
I didn't need a clue.
I didn't need any hints or clues.
I didn't even have to ask,
I didn't even have to ask; you revealed yourself through your actions.
You saw your own reflection in the glass.
You saw your own reflection in the glass, symbolizing self-awareness.
You sure look fine tonight, they're turning out the lights
You still look good as they turn off the lights.
Why did you hold my sleeve when I said I had to leave
Why did you try to stop me when I said I had to leave?
I hoped it never showed, but that's the way it goes.
I hoped my true feelings didn't show, but that's how it turned out.
As the lights begin to fade on this Honky Tonk Masquerade.
As the lights dim, the truth becomes apparent in this deceptive Honky Tonk Masquerade.
