Every time I hear your name you know
I wonder why you wanted to go
I said no you couldn't come along for the ride
I said hey, I want outta here and nobody taggin' behind

[Chorus]
Don't cha know I love you so I told you a lie
I love you so I told you a lie when I told you goodbye

A family life and a lovin' wife just ain't my kinda scene
Well when I'm all alone, when the nights are cold
I get to thinkin' I was kinda mean
We coulda had a good thing but I never wanted to try

[Chorus]

You know I told you a lie

ah, ah ah, ah ah
Ut, ah ah, ah ah
Ah, ah ah, ah ah
Ut, ah ah, ah ah

A family life and a lovin' wife just ain't my kinda scene
Well when I'm all alone, when the nights are cold
I get to thinkin' I was kinda mean
We coulda had a good thing but I never wanted to try

[Chorus]

You know I told you a lie when I told you goodbye

Don'tcha know, I love you so I
Don'tcha know, I love you so I told you
Don'tcha know, I love you so I told you a lie
Love you so I told you a lie
I loved you so I told you a lie
I loved you so I told you a lie
Loved you so, loved you so
Ah
Loved you so I told you a lie
Ah
Loved you so I told you a lie
