Michael McDonald - Love Lies lyrics

rate me

(Michael McDonald And Randy Goodrum)

What's that lyin' on her pillow

Folded up so neat

What once was love is now a letter

Lying where she used to sleep

Oh, I thought love was something I could count on

But it took her to show me that

[Chorus:]

Love lies-right to your face

Love lies-just when I had faith

It would let me down

I know that love lies-right to the end

Love lies-I know the word will never mean the same to me

What's this emptiness inside me

Where her promise used to be

She said she'd be here to guide me

I guess now the joke's on me

Oh, I thought love was something like devotion

But it took her to show me that

[Chorus]

Just when you think you know what love is about

Someone takes your place, and you find that

[Chorus]
