It's No Mystery - Lyrics - Harlequin
Harlequin is the most popularly known of the zanni or comic servant characters from the Italian Commedia dell'arte. It was introduced by the successful Italian actor Tristano Martinelli in the 1580s, and it became a stock character after Tristano's death in 1630. The derived genre of the Harlequinade, where the Harlequin character takes center stage, came to England in the 18th century .

You've been listenin' to all the wrong lines
Walkin' around with your head in the sky
Can't you see that I'm on your side
There's nothin' to prove and there's nothin' to hide
And you can stand on the outside
And play your masked routine
You're only fooling yourself
Cause you're sure not fooling me
And it's no mystery
To make it so much harder than love's got to be
And it's no mystery
If you can't break it down
Then I say it's over
Yeah yeah yeah
There's a wall between you and me
Built with your pride tryin' to love someone you couldn't see
I'm still the guy that I used to be
I ain't so strange I'm the same old me
And it's no mystery
When I say it's all on the table
Who's the fool who's really unable
to swallow up their pride
And it's no mystery
To make it so much harder than love's got to be
When it's no mystery
If you can't let me in
Then I say it's over
It's over
Yeah yeah yeah
It's over
Yeah yeah yeah
And you can stand on the outside
And play your best routine
You're only fooling yourself
Cause you're sure not foolin' me
Yeah-ah-ah
And it's no mystery
To make it so much harder than love's got to be
It's no mystery
If you can't break it down
Then I say it's over
(It's no mystery)
It's no mystery
To make it so much harder than love's got to be
(It's over)
It's no mystery
If you can't break it down
Then I say it's over
(Yeah.....)
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah
