Don't Play That Song For Me

Don't play that song for me

Cause it brings back memories

Of days that I once knew

Those days that I spent with you

Oh no don't leave me

Cause it fills up my heart with pain

So please stop it right away

Cause I remember just what he said



He said, "Darling I love you"

But I know that he lied

"Darling I need you"

Know that he lied

"Darling I love you"

Darling you lied

You lied

You lied

To me



Hey mister!

Don't play no more

Don't play it no more

I can't stand it

Don't play it no more

No more, no more

No more I can't stand it



I remember on our first date

He kissed me and he walked away

I was only 17

I never dreamed he'd be so mean



He told me Darling

"Darling I love you"

But baby baby you lied

"Darling I need you"

You lied

"Darling I love you"

Darling you lied

You lied

Lied

You lied

To me



"Darling I love you"

But I know that you lied

"Darling I need you"

I know that you lied

"Darling I love you"

Darling you lied

You lied

Lied you lied

Lied to me and hurt me

You lied

Don't play it no more

Don't do it

Don't play it no more

Cause I can't stand it no more
