Look at you talking so well
Brings back memories of that summer spell
You hate heartache
But don't it make you feel alive
I loved you, baby
But I knew we'd never survive
Newspapers flying across the place to see
Shadows are running by the penitentiary
It's all just a game you gotta break free
I hear you got what you want
Well, I hope it's still what you need
Baby, now
You've shown me how
To tell a lie
Nothing special just another song
A phonograph record running far too long
I was drinking too hard
I couldn't get it all straight
But from my blurred recollection
I made a young man's mistake
Baby, now
You've shown me how
To tell a lie
Took the high road when you killed my bike
Told me I was lucky that you spared my life
Now you come back crying
Saying I'm your only true one
Don't I like excitement
Don't I like fun
Baby, now
You've shown me how
To tell a lie
