you said, you'd always be true
as long as I were to you
if I should start running around
the string I wrapped around your heart
would then become unwound

I kept my promise 'til the end
but you broke my heart once again
guess I was just too blind to see
what a fool I was to listen to
the things you said to me

I'm lonely, I can't help it, I'm lonely
no matter how hard I try to forget
I've got a heartache and I know it's too late
I've been deceived, 'cause darling I believed
the things you said to me

someday you just may be the one
who's gonna wonder what went wrong
when you're all alone just think of me
when no one else will listen to
the things you said to me

but I'm lonely, I can't help it, I'm lonely
no matter how hard I try to forget
I've got a heartache and I know it's too late
I've been deceived, 'cause darling I believed
the things you said to me

the things you said to me ...
