Too Good To Be True
Edens Edge Lyrics

You walked in shining brighter than a headlight
You entered the room and immediately caught my attention and dazzled me.

Turning every head like a diamond in a coal mine
You were so stunning that everyone stopped what they were doing to look at you, like a shiny diamond in a dull coal mine.

Packing more punch than a Mississippi fist fight
You had a lot of charisma and charm, like a strong punch in a fist fight in Mississippi.

Oh oh my my
I was surprised and taken aback by your presence.

Walked my way, took my hand, said "Let's go"
You came over to me, took my hand, and asked me to go somewhere with you.

Had more game than the Mandalay Casino
You were very smooth and confident, like a seasoned gambler in the Mandalay Casino.

Thought I hit the jackpot, I was on a good roll
I believed that I had struck lucky by meeting you and was feeling optimistic.

Showed you what I know
I tried to impress you and show off my skills or knowledge to you.

Too good to be true
You seemed too perfect, like something that couldn't possibly be real or genuine.

Like diamonds on the soles of my shoes
You were so impressive and valuable that you felt like diamonds on the soles of my shoes.

Like money falling out of the blue
You seemed like a sudden and unexpected stroke of wealth or luck.

Don't be fooled
Beware and don't let yourself be tricked or deceived.

He ain't nothing but too good to be real
He is just too perfect to be genuine and may be hiding something.

Don't believe the way he's making you feel
Don't trust the emotions that this person is making you feel, as they may not be sincere.

He'll break your pretty little heart in two
He will hurt you and cause you emotional pain and distress.

Momma told me about boys like you
My mother warned me about men who seemed too perfect to be true.

Before I knew it my heartstrings unwound
I fell in love with you quickly and my heart was taken by you before I even realized it.

I fell faster than a cannonball straight down
I fell in love with you very quickly and with great intensity, like a cannonball falling straight down.

Everybody talking all over this now: "Look there he goes again"
People are gossiping and talking about this person's behavior, indicating that this is not the first time this has happened.

Lie lie lied like a politician
This person lied like a politician, saying things that were not true or were only partially true.

Shoulda read the headlines, paid more attention
I should have paid more attention to warning signs and red flags related to this person's character or behavior.

To my suspicions, my intuition
I should have listened to my own suspicions and gut feelings about this person and their intentions.

I shoulda seen it from a mile away
I should have realized what was happening from a long way off, before it was too late.

I should have called a spade a spade
I should have been more honest with myself and others about this person's true nature and intentions.

You're just too good to be (too good to be)
You seem too perfect and too good to be genuine or sincere.

You're just too good to be true
You seem impossibly perfect and are likely hiding something or not revealing your true self.
