the words you say

don’t stand the light of day

they just fade away

the pretty words you say

just fade away, fade away

here you come again

whatcha gonna say?

guess it all depends

on the way you see romance today

little things you do

get me kinda psyched

but baby later on

it all seems kinda like a game you play

when you just want me to stay

well i’m a big man with all of my friends

but i’m a shot down hero

when the party ends

because the words you say

don’t stand the light of day

they just fade away

the pretty words you say

just fade away, fade away

everytime we kiss

i just wanna touch

but you call it quits

like you don’t know what you do to me

if it’s all a code

girl i’ll work it out

but all these tender words

have tumbled from your mouth a thousand times

and every single line

gets me a little bit more confused

it’s only bar talk baby

when you act enthused

because the words you say

don’t stand the light of day

they just fade away

the pretty words you say

just fade away, fade away

the words you say

ain’t worth the price you pay

i see your mouth still movin

i’m tryin to seal it with a kiss

you’re different day and night girl

c’mon honey, don’t do me like this

now we need a little heart to heart

i’m such a bright boy

but you got me in the dark

because the words you say

don’t stand the light of day

they just fade away

the pretty words you say

just fade away, fade away

the words you say

ain’t worth the price you pay

you know it just ain’t right

the pretty words you say

just fade away with the night.
