Baby, you said that you love me, when you laid down across my bed.
Yes, you told me that you love me, when you laid down across my bed.
Yes, and I thought you loved me baby, when you never meant a word you said.

I get the strangest feelin', every time you walk out the door.
Yes, I get the strangest feelin', every time you walk out the door.
Now you let me catch you kissin' a man in a car, yes, baby, and I don't love you anymore.

Yes, you been lyin' so long, baby, baby that's all you know.
Yes, you been lyin' so much, baby, seem like that's all you know.
Yes, you was lyin' when I met you, you'll be lyin' when you go.

If you don't want me please don't hurt me, put me down and let me go my way.
If you don't want me please don't hurt me, put me down and let me go my way.
‘Cause if I live long enough baby, I'll find someone to love me someday.

I had my faith in you, baby, but you laughed in my face.
I had faith in you, and you laughed in my face.
Yes, you laughed and called me a clown, someone else had my place.

But you can go baby, do anything you want to do.
Baby, you can go anywhere you please, you can do anything that you want to do.
But I'll be around baby, when it all doubles back on you.
