I'm settin' the record straight
Then I'm lettin' it lie
I'm telling you once more "I love you"
And then I'm telling you goodbye

Oh I, I just got out in time
And if I know one thing for sure
I won't forget that lie
I get feverish sometimes at night
If I had the leverage
I'd leave you crying
Like you left me crying there that night

I just got out in time
And if I know one thing for sure
I won't forget that lie
I won't forget that lie

We'll make love just one last time
Make pictures on the wall
Play the film back backwards
And you won't see me no more

Oh I get feverish sometimes at night
If I had the leverage
I'd leave you crying
Like you left me crying there that night
I just got out in time
And if I know one thing for sure
I won't forget that lie
I won't forget that lie

I stare at you while you're asleep
And pray the lord your soul to keep
And on your cheek I kiss a peck
And pray it's just your heart I'll break

Oh I just got out in time
And if I know one thing for sure
I won't forget that lie
I won't forget that lie
I won't forget, I won't forget
I won't forget that lie
