She says 'it's not you - it's me
I need a little time, a little space,
a place to find myself again
you know?'
Oh yea, 'I know a goodbye when I hear
it'

She smiles
But her heart's already out there
Walking down the street

She says
'I don't want nobody else
I love you'

She's lying

'There won't be somebody else
and that's true'

She's lying

'Say you'll always be my friend
sweet darling'

Why does she pretend?

Ain't no doubt, it' plain to see
A woman like you's no good for me
Your heart's beating at another door
I'm a damned fool for to ask for more

She says,
'It's like in a song, remember?
If you love someone, set them free'

That's how it is with me,
But you know I'll always come back
And then she kisses me
And somewhere I hear a door slam
So I say 'fine'
And just hope that I'm a better liar
than she is

She says
'I don't want nobody else
I love you'

She's lying

'Say you'll always be my friend
sweet darling'

Why does she pretend?

Ain't no doubt, it' plain to see
A woman like you's no good for me
Your heart's beating at another door
I'm a damned fool for to ask for more
Ain't no doubt, it's plain to see
A woman like you's no good for me
Your heart's beating at another door
I'm a damned fool for to ask for more,
ask for more,
ask for more,
(Repeat)

'I don't want nobody else
I love you'

She's lying

'There won't be somebody else
and that's true'

She's lying

'Say you'll always be my friend
sweet darling'

Why does she pretend?

Ain't no doubt, it's plain to see
A woman like you is no good for me
Your heart's beating at another door
I'm a damned fool for to ask for more,
ask for more,
ask for more,
(Repeat x 2)

She says it's not you, it's me
I need a little time, a little space
A place to find myself again you know

Oh yeah, I know a goodbye when I hear it
she smiles
But her heart's already out there
Walking down the street

She says
I don't want nobody else, I love you
She's lying
There won't be somebody else and that's true
She's lying
Say you'll always be my friend sweet darling

Why does she pretend

Ain't no doubt, it' plain to see
A woman like you's no good for me
Your heart's beating at another door
I'm a done fool for to ask for more

She says
It's like in a song, remember
If you love someone, set them free
Well, that's how it is with me
And then she kisses me
And somewhere I hear a door slam
So I say fine
And just hope that I'm a better liar than she is

She says
I don't want nobody else, I love you
She's lying
There won't be somebody else and that's true
She's lying
Say you'll always be my friend sweet darling

Why does she pretend

Ain't no doubt, it' plain to see
A woman like you's no good for me
Your heart's beating at another door
I'm a done fool for to ask for more

Ain't no doubt, it' plain to see
A woman like you's no good for me
Your heart's beating at another door
I'm a done fool for to ask for more
That's what I am

I don't want nobody else, I love you
She's lying
There won't be somebody else and that's true
She's lying
Say you'll always be my friend sweet darling

Why does she pretend

Ain't no doubt, it' plain to see (I'm a fool)
A woman like you's no good for me (No matter how I try)
Your heart's beating at another door
I'm a done fool for to ask for more (That's what I am)
Ain't no doubt, it' plain to see (Fool that I am)
A woman like you's no good for me
Your heart's beating at another door
I'm a done fool for to ask for more
