I Told Myself a Lie - Clyde McPhatter

The way I love you scares me just a little Everyday's a gamble you and me The way you kiss me tears me down the middle You make me crazy, make me never wanna leave Are you just another lie I tell myself? Are you only on my mind 'cause I need help? When you tell me that you'll be better And I let you in one more night Are you just another lie? Are you just another lie? Are you just another lie I tell myself? Are you only on my mind 'cause I need help When you tell me that, tell me that better And I let you in one more night Are you just another lie I tell myself?

When you tell me that you'll be better And I let you in one more night Are you just another lie? Are you just another lie? Are you just another lie? Are you just another lie? Are you just another lie?

It's a lover's question I'd like to know I'd like to know when she's not with me If she's still true to me I'd like to know when we're kissing Does she feel just what I feel, and how am I to know it's really real? Oh, tell me where the answer lies Is it in her kiss, or in her eyes? But it's a lover's question I'd like to know I'd like to know when she's not with me If she's still true to me I'd like to know when we're kissing Does she feel just what I feel, and how am I to know it's really real?

Long, long and lonely nights I cry my eyes out over you Wond'ring if I did right And why you left me with a broken heart Oh, long, long and lonely nights Oh, how I miss you, my dear Please, please, come back to me How I wish you were here As I go along my lonely way I visualize your face When I pass through (yeah!) my doorway What's left for me to face? Oh, long, long and lonely nights I guess you're never coming home Long, long and lonely nights Ever since you've been gone As I go along my lonely way I visualize your face When I pass through (yeah!) my doorway What's left for me to face? Oh, oh, oh, long, long and lonely nights I guess you're never coming home Long, long and lonely nights Ever since you've been gone Please, please, come back to me You've been gone too long

Now you're gone, that's what I'll do CHORUS FADES
