But I Was Lying

Wanda Jackson · Please Help Me I'm Falling [1968]

(Joe Allison - Audrey Allison)



I said congralutaions and I hope you're happy

But I was lyin', I hope you're cryin'

And everytime she touches you, you'll think of me.



I said the best of luck to you to your new love

But I was lyin', no use denyin'

I'm not as good a loser as I thought I'd be.



I hope our past is strong enough to cloud your vision

Till one day she'll even get to look like me

I hope my mem'ry crowd your mind with indecision

And from force of habit you'll run straight to me.



And when I said I'll see you soon, let's together

I wasn't lyin', I hope you're cryin'

Tears of joy the day that you come back to me...
