[Verse 1]
How come you love him when he
Takes you for a fool
He's only looking for a good time
How can he love you when he
Treats you mean and cruel
He's not the best thing that you could find

[Chorus]
Is it true?
I can't believe it
Is it true?
I just can't see it
Is it true?
Is that you?

[Verse 2]
When we were young, we didn't really have a care
You were hung up, i had a good line
I never knew it then but, man, i was in love
How could i know it was the right time?

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Yes, i was so wrong
For leading you on
There wasn't much i could do
I was a wild one, but i can change some
If that's important to you

[Outro]
Is it true- you've lost that feeling?
Is it true- you might be leaving?
Is it true?[x2]
She's really leaving[x3]

one of the most popular and successful bands of all time. Originating in Los Angeles in 1971, its founding members were Glenn Frey, Don Henley, Bernie Leadon, and Randy Meisner. They saw the coming and going of various members, including Frey who passed away in 2016.

Eagles were a success from the start. Their eponymous debut album, Eagles (1972), saw three singles enter the Top 40: “Take It Easy”, “Witchy Woman”, and “Peaceful Easy Feeling”, reaching respective peaks of 12, 9, and 22.

At this point, however, the Eagles were just getting started. Their second album, Desperado (1973), featured two of their most popular songs of all “Tequila Sunrise” and title track “Desperado”. Additionally, the other songs were critically acclaimed for other reasons, such as Leadon’s performance on “Saturday Night”. You’d be wrong if you thought the Eagles were settling down after back-to-back triumphs. Their next album, On the Border (1974), had on it their first “Best of My Love”.
