Lyrics:

Girl, don't you know every time I see you smilin' (Hurts so bad 'cause when I see you I start cryin')

I tried everything to stop but there's no denyin' (That fallin' in love with you, girl, is just like dyin')

Oh, don't walk away

How, how can I make you stay

Don't turn away

I can still hear you sayin' those

Words that never were true, spoken to help nobody but you

Words with lies inside, but small enough to hide 'til your playin' was through

Girl, don't you know we can work it out with talkin' (You won't turn around or slow down your walkin')

I've given you everything with a kiss to seal it (You had to get your kicks out of tryin' to steal it)

Now I'm standing here

Strange, strange voices in my ears

I feel the tears

But all I can hear are those

Words that never were true, spoken to help nobody but you

Words with lies inside, but small enough to hide 'til your playin' was through

Oh, I'm standing here

Strange, strange voices in my ears

I feel the tears

But all I can hear are those

Words that never were true, spoken to help nobody but you

Words with lies inside, but small enough to hide 'til your playin' was through

Words that never were true, spoken to help nobody but you

Words with lies inside, but small enough to hide 'til your playin' was through

Words that never were true, spoken to help nobody but you...
