I Lied - The Hollies

Only a game had no intention

I pretended it was something wrong

I told her straight if it gets serious

Then I’ll go running out that door

Because I’ve been burned and bound up the hard way

I’m trying not to get too close

I made a promise to myself I swear I’ll never do it again

I lied when I told you I’d never fall too deep let you under my skin

I lied when I said I won’t ever open my heart and let anyone in

Again you win I lied

I didn’t know that I was open to the power of your tendrness

I can’t ignore this time it’s diffrent cos I’m finding it hard to resist

Truth is something I just can’t hide from I’m taking back the words I said

I made a promise to myself I swear I’ll never do it again

I lied when I told you I’d never fall too deep let you under my skin

I lied when I said I won’t ever open my heart and let anyone in

Again you win I lied

Truth is something I just can’t hide from taking back all the words I said

I might get burned

And find out the hard way who cares I’m gonna do it again
