"Lost inside adorable illusion...."
OK, I just pulled out & listened to Loleatta's 12" and those don't seem to be the "exact lyrics" but SO DAMN CLOSE!!!!!! Plagiarism charges should be filed--but then I don't know who's song came first!
One other thing: listen to Loleatta's "Laugh"--the "ha ha ha ha ha" thing she puts on so the people can't see she's "dancing to keep from crying"; Is this what Jennifer Holliday used to inpire her little "ha ha ha ha" in "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going" from "Dreamgirls"? I'm Just Askin!!!!!!
Light bulb Moment (thank you Oprah!): Now I gotta listen to the Destinations song "I've Got To Dance To Keep From Crying" to check those lyrics. And now you see why I need to retire from this board--to get things done around the house!!!!!!!!
"Lost inside adorable illusion...."
No, it's not Loleatta. I'll give you a clue, it's a male singer.
Here's another clue. The guy also wrote several songs for Motown artists.
Is It the Ever Talented "Lamont Dozier"

From the last name dropped, I would guess "Take Off Your Makeup"?
"Lost inside adorable illusion...."
Yes, it is Lamont Dozier's "Take Off Your Makeup"
I knew you would get it Marky.
