I wanted to tell her but I stuck to my lies
I wanted to tell her 'til I looked in her eyes
I wanted to tell her but I stuck to my lies
I wanted to tell her 'til I looked in her eyes

I wanted to tell her
I needed to tell her

Just like the wind you blew away a happy lover's touch
You ran the blues into my life just like a rush
I cannot bear the way my heart has held to keep you close
Of you my babe, I cannot get enough

You touched me baby

I looked into the lines of lies you told when I asked her name
I knew the perfume in your hair just wasn't mine
Did you ever think to notice babe when you wasn't home
I noticed every time

I wanted to tell her but I stuck to my lies
I wanted to tell her 'til I looked in her eyes
I wanted to tell her but I stuck to my lies
I wanted to tell her 'til I looked in her eyes

I thought you noticed every time but you didn't notice a thing
I'd have to cover up my calls when the telephone would ring
I'm tired of you and the things you do and all the things you say
No more baby-sitting for neurotic girls today

You think the pain I'm going through just to keep you babe
Is something that I should bear
Did you ever stop to notice babe when you had nothing
And I never cared

Just like the wind you blew away a happy lover's touch
You ran the blues into my life just like a rush
I cannot bear the way my heart has held to keep you close
Of you my babe, I cannot get enough

You touched me baby, don't be mean to me

I wanted to tell her but I stuck to my lies
I wanted to tell her 'til I looked in her eyes
I wanted to tell her but I stuck to my lies
I wanted to tell her 'til I looked in her eyes
I wanted to tell her but I stuck to my lies
I wanted to tell her 'til I looked in her eyes
I wanted to tell her
I needed to tell her
