Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't play it no more
Don't play it no more
Don't play it no more
No, no, no, no, no, no, no

Don't play that song for me
It brings back memories
Of days that I once knew
The days I spent with you

Oh no, don't let it play
It fills my heart with pain
Please stop it right away
I remember just-a what it said

It said (Darling, I love you)
You know that you lied
(Darling, I love you)
You know that you lied

(Darling, I love you)
You know that you lied(whoa), you lied(whoa)
You

Don't play it no more
Don't play it no more
Don't play it no more
No, no, no, no, no, no, no

I remember on our first date
You kissed me and you walked away
You were only seventeen
I never thought you'd act so mean

You said (Darling, I love you)
But, baby, you lied
(Darling, I love you)
Yes, baby, you lied
(Darling, I love you)

Mmm, you know you lied (whoa), oh
(Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa)
(Darling, I love you)
You know that you lied, darlin'
(Darling, I love you)

You know that you lied
(Darling, I love you)
You know that you lied (whoa), you lied (whoa)
You

Go on and hurt me, baby
Do what you will But baby you told me you loved me
You told me you cared




you said, "I'll go with you darling almost anywhere
But darling, you know that you lied, lied, lied, lied, lied
