Oh, don't say those same idle lies
I've heard them before
Oh, this fool who left
Half his heart on an early train
Won't buy no more

Oh, no and don't use
Those same weeping eyes
I'll wipe them no more
Oh, I didn't want to have to be cruel
But the truth must be said
And you ain't heard enough

Oh, it was not so long ago
Since you wandered out of here
To become a silver model
Of a city on the air

So don't choke me with your lies
Because this man has open eyes
And I can see
I can see, I can tell

I had it enough
All those sneaky bars and smart parties
I had it enough
All those sweet friends and lovers
I've had it enough
All those lonely rooms and blank faces
I had it enough
And I want you, I want you no more
I want you, I want you no more

Oh no, don't say those same idle lies
I've heard them before
Oh, this fool who left
Half his heart on an early train
Won't buy no more
