But I Was Lying

Roy Clark · He'll Have to Go [Hilltop] [1970]

(Joe Allison - Audrey Allison)



I said congralutaions and I hope you're happy

But I was lying I hope you're crying

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 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 run 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 joy the day that you come back to me...
