She sent a card wishing me a happy birthday
Then later on she sent the cutest Valentine
Then today an invitation to her wedding
And tonight I'll telephone her one last time

I'll say I see that mean old love would finnaly bid you
I'll say I guess you're as happy as can be
And then I'll say goodbye like nothing ever happened
And no one will ever know I lied but me

[ steel ]
I sent her roses once before when someone hurt her
And then I let her use my shoulder once or twice
While she cried and asked me how to make him love her
It's too bad for me I'd give such good advice

I think I'll call up some old flame and say I miss her
Cause that's exactly what somebody did to me
And then I'll just suggest that we can start all over
And no one will ever know I lied but me and no one will ever know I lied but me
