Illusion Lyrics – Dua Lipa

[Verse 1: Dua Lipa]
I been known to miss a red flag
I been known to put my lover on a pedestal
In the end those things just don’t last
And it’s time I take my rose-coloured glasses off

[Pre-Chorus: Dua Lipa]
I already know your type telling me the things I like (Mmm)
Tryna make me yours for life taking me for a ride (Mmm)
I already know your type think you playing your cards right (Mmm)
Don’t you know I could do this dance all night?

[Chorus: Dua Lipa]
Oh what you doing?
Don’t know who you think that you’re confusing
I be like oh it’s amusing
You think I’m gonna fall for an illusion

Dance all night dance all night
Dance all night dance all night (I be like oh)
Dance all night dance all night
Dance all night dance dance

[Verse 2: Dua Lipa]
Was a time when that sh!t might’ve worked
Was a time when I just threw a match and let it burn
Now I’m grown I know what I deserve
I still like dancing with the lessons I already learned

[Pre-Chorus: Dua Lipa]
I already know your type telling me the things I like (Mmm)
Tryna make me yours for life taking me for a ride (Mmm)
I already know your type think you playing your cards right (Mmm)
Don’t you know I could do this dance all night?

[Chorus: Dua Lipa]
Oh what you doing?
Don’t know who you think that you’re confusing
I be like oh it’s amusing
You think I’m gonna fall for an illusion

Dance all night dance all night
Dance all night dance all night (I be like oh)
Dance all night dance all night
Dance all night dance dance
