BABY I LIED
(Deborah Allen / Rory Bourke / Rafe VanHoy)


Deborah Allen - 1983





Did I say I wouldn't be hurt if our love just didn't work
Did I say that I'd be okay if you said goodbye
And did I promise you I could take it if we were through
And forget about these feelings inside 
(Baby I lied) When I told you I could walk away
(Baby I lied) And forget about the love we made
I swear on my heart I was telling the truth at the time
Baby I lied

And did I ever tell myself I could always find someone else
Did I say if you left today it'd be no surprise
Did I ever leave any doubt I could hold up if you walked out
I know I told you that I could survive
(Baby I lied When) I told you I could walk away
(Baby I lied) And forget about the love we made
I swear on my heart I was telling the truth at the time
Baby I lied, baby I lied

Now that I can see you walking out of my life
Saying goodbye, I realize, baby, baby, baby
(Baby I Lied) Don't believe a word I said before
(Baby I Lied) Believe me when I say I love you more
When I said I was sure I could live without you by my side
Baby I lied, baby I lied (Baby I lied)
Baby I lied ........... FADE
