New Rhythm Method

Lyrics

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
