LOVIN' LIES
(Dorothy Chapman / Troy Martin / Pete Pyle)


George Jones - 1964
Porter Wagoner - 1965
Don Gibson - 1965
Willie Nelson - 1967



I'll never understand, dear, as long as I live
I guess I will always wonder why
You told me that you loved me with all of your heart
And then without a warning said goodbye

Lovin' lies that I believed
And now how I grieve
You didn't mean it from the start
You told me lovin' lies and broke my heart

(Instrumental Break)

You say I'll soon forget you and find somebody new
But darlin', oh, how wrong you are
I've only had one love, dear, and that was for you
And from that love my heart will bear the scar

Lovin' lies that I believed
And now how I grieve
You didn't mean it from the start
You told me lovin' lies and broke my heart
