(Verse 1)
She was shy, her self belief still left a lot to be desired
You compared her to her heroes, she could not but feel inspired
She was taken in, she believed
All the things you said were real
Never noticed she was feeling just as you meant her to feel

(Pre-Chorus)
What you say and what you mean
Are very different things indeed
What I'd give to hear you say
"It's love, ok"

(Chorus)
Never say I'm the one who lied
I cross my heart and hope to die
Never say I'm a clueless tease
And most of all, don't itchy chin me

(Verse 2)
All she said was she was trying
To believe in something new (in something new)
How the hell did you infer from that she's leaving you
I forbid a single word to leave your lips
Till I've explained (till I've explained)
Well, that's it, you've had your chance
I won't tell you the truth again
(Pre-Chorus)
What you say and what you mean
Are very different things indeed
What I'd give to hear you say
"It's love, ok"

(Chorus)
Never say I'm the one who lied
I cross my heart and hope to die
Never say I'm a clueless tease
And most of all, don't itchy chin me

(Bridge)
She is no longer fooled by your sad attempts to be cool
She could still love you though, if you'd see her as an equal
If you'd just say what she wants you to
If you'd just say "I love you as you"
If you'd just say "Please, don't say we're through"
If you'd just shed your pride
But you never do

(Chorus)
And never say I'm the one who lied
I cross my heart and hope to die
Never say I'm a clueless tease
And most of all, don't itchy chin me
