Loving Lies

George Jones · The Great George Jones [1965]

(Dorothy Chapman - Troy Martin - Pete Pyle)



I'll never understand dear as long as I live

I guess I will always wonder why

You told me that you loved me straight from your heart

And then without a warning said goodbye.



Loving lies that I believed

And now how I grieve

You didn't mean them from the start

But you told me lovin' lies and broke my heart.



--- Instrumental ---



You say I'll soon forget you and find somebody new

But darling, oh, how wrong you are

I've only had one love dear, and it was for you

And from that love my heart will bear a scar.



Loving lies that I believed

And now how I grieve

You didn't mean them from the start

Yet you told me lovin' lies and broke my heart...
