YMO - Behind the Mask lyrics, anyone?

Have been jamming to the remix and the original version, and can't figure out any of the lyrics to save my life. I found two covers (Eric Clapton and Michael Jackson, of all people) and that revealed one section of the lyrics, but that's it.

Apparently the YMO DVD has them, so I don't see why they're so hard to find, but google is not helping at all. Can anyone shed some light?

All along, had to talk about it,
Like a two-edged sword, it cuts you and it stabs me.
All along, knew you were a phony girl,
Sit behind the mask where you control your world.

Yesterday he had you in his arms;
When I'm holding you, I feel his bitter charms.
I can't judge what you do to me.
Camoflage the truth, indulge your fantasy.

Who do you love? Is it me now, is it him babe? I don't know.
Who do you love? Is it me babe, is it him now? I don't know.

There is nothing in your eyes; that's the way you cry.
All is grand, all is bright. You're just studying my mind.
There is nothing in your eyes; that's the way you cry.
All is grand, all is bright. You're just studying my mind.

Was I invited to your masquerade?
Well the party's over so now take off your face.
You say you love, but it's hard to see
When you're in his arms, throwing rocks at me.

Chorus

Bridge

I walk around suffering in my gloom,
When I come to you sitting in your room.
The truth is news, I have longed to trace.
So take off the mask so I can see your face.

Chorus

Chorus

Chorus

Who do you love? Is it me baby, is it him? I want to know.
Who do you love?


I just searched for Eric Clapton tracks... ;)

I'd still like to know which version of the music was sampled by GLC. It's not Clapton...

There is nothing in your eyes; that's the way you cry.
All is grand, all is bright. You're just studying my mind.
Those are the only lyrics I can find in the entire song. Other than that, the only thing those match is Eric Clapton's and Michael Jackson's songs.
