Can't Believe Your Lyin'

Neil Young · This Note's For You [1988]

Daylight breaks and I go to bed

And I find myself worryin'

about things you said

Oh honey,

I can't believe your lyin'

But you tell me things

Things I know aren't true.



You have changed my life

In too many ways.



Well, I lost my job

thinkin' about you

Now there's another man

workin' in my place

Oh honey,

I can't believe your lyin'

But you tell me things

Things I know aren't true.



You have changed my life

In too many ways.



You have changed my life

In too many ways.



Well, my money's gone

and so are you

My friends all tell me

I have been a fool

Oh honey,

I can't believe your lyin'

But you tell me things

Things I know aren't true.



You have changed my life

In too many ways.
