All He Did Was Tell Me Lies
All he did was tell me lies
to try to woo me.
If sweet talk was a game,
he could win a prize.
He never meant to stay,
how could he do it to me
And everybody thinks
I was a fool
to listen to his run around lies.
He thought he was a
big shot with the ladies.
I put him down
and it took him by surprise.
Now who would have
thought that a girl like me
could fall in love so easily
Now everybody says
he's just a no good,
at least everybody but me.
All he did was tell me lies
to try to woo me.
If sweet talk was a game,
he could win a prize.
He never meant to stay,
how could he do it to me
And everybody thinks I was a fool
to listen to his run around lies.
Now the king of love
has won the final inning.
Oh he made his move,
and he played his game so well.
But later on, will he think of me
when his castle walls get cold
Will he care to call
Will he care at all
All he did was tell me lies
to try to woo me.
If sweet talk was a game,
he could win a prize.
He never meant to stay,
how could he do it to me
Now everybody says
he's just a no good,
at least everybody but me.
