Words

The Monkees · Original Album Series [2012]

Girl, don'tcha know every time I see ya smilin'

(Hurts so bad, 'cause when I see you, I start cryin')

I've tried everything to stop, but there's no denying

(That falling in love with you, girl, is just like dying)



Oh, don't walk away

How, how can I make you stay?

Don't turn away

I can still hear you sayin' those



Words that never were true

Spoken to help nobody but you

Words with lies inside

But small enough to hide

Till your playing was through



Girl, don'tcha know we can work it out with talking

(You won't turn around or slow down your walking)

I've given you everything with a kiss to seal it

(You had to get your kicks out of trying to steal it)



Now, I'm standing here

Strange, strange voices in my ears

I feel the tears

But all I can hear are those



Words that never were true

Spoken to help nobody but you

Words with lies inside

But small enough to hide

Till your playing was through



Now, I'm standing here

Strange, strange voices in my ears

I feel the tears

But all I can hear are those



Words that never were true

Spoken to help nobody but you

Words with lies inside

But small enough to hide

Till your playing was through



Words, that never were true

Spoken to help nobody but you

Words with lies inside

But small enough to hide

Till your playing was through



Words that never were true...
