But I Was Lying

Ray Price · The Lonesomest Lonesome [Columbia] [1972]

(Joe Allison - Audrey Allison)



I said congralutaions and I hope you're happy

But I was lying I hope you're crying

And everytime he touches you you'll think of me.



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

But I was lying no use denying

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 he'll even get to look like me

I hope my mem'ry crowd your mind within decision

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



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

I wasn't lying I hope you're crying

Tears of happiness when you come back to me...
