Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It brings back the memory
Of days that I once knew
Those days that I spent with you
Oh no, don't let it play
It fills my heart with pain
Please stop that right away, darling
(Darling, I love you)
You know that you lied (darling, I love you)
You know that you lied (darling, I love you)
Oh baby, you lied, you lied, you lied, lied, lied, oh no
Remember on our first date
You kissed me and you walked away
You were only 17
I never knew that you could be so mean, but darling
You told me you love me
You told me you care
You said, "I′ll go with you, darling
Almost anywhere", but darling
(Darling, I love you)
You know that you lied (darling, I love you)
You know that you lied (darling, I love you)
Oh baby, you lied, you lied, you lied, lied, lied, oh
(Darling, I love you)
You know that you lied (darling, I love you)
You know that you lied (darling, I love you)
Oh baby, you lied, you lied, you lied, lied, lied, oh
