All He Did Was Tell Me Lies (To Try to Woo Me)
All he did was tell me lies
To try to woo me
If sweet talk was a game
He could win a prize
He never meant to stay
How could he do it to me?
And everybody thinks
I was a fool to listen to his run around lies
He thought he was a big shot with the ladies
I put him down
And it took him by surprise
Now who would have thought
That a girl like me could fall in love so easily
Now everybody says he's just a no good
At least everybody but me
All he did was tell me lies
To try to woo me
If sweet talk was a game
He could win a prize
He never meant to stay
How could he do it to me?
And everybody thinks I was a fool
To listen to his run around lies
Now the king of love has won the final inning
Oh, he made his move
And he played his game so well
But later on
Will he think of me when his castle walls get cold?
Will he care to call?
Will he care at all?
All he did was tell me lies
To try to woo me
If sweet talk was a game
He could win a prize
He never meant to stay
How could he do it to me?
Now everybody says he's just a no good
At least everybody but me
