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...
(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

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...
