Well I'm reading this poem
and it's so profound
and I like its rhythm
and I like its sound
it's by a very famous poet
no critic can criticise
and then I pause a moment
and I start to realize
he's tellin'
lies lies lies
on the motel TV.
I dig the evangelist
he'll tell you all about that
and then he tell you all about this
he's preachin' up a storm
by the sea of Galilee
he's mixin' up the truth
with something funny I start to see
he's tellin'
lies lies lies
I never had this problem
with nobody in the government
I guess I always figured
they never mean what they meant
and GOD help us all
not to be so stone surprised
when we wake up in the stars
with the skies in our eyes
if we keep tellin'
lies lies lies

Started out the same old way
But when I looked into your eyes
Right then I knew
I found the one
When I saw you smile at me
I felt the quivering through my knees
All along I knew someday
I'd give my heart to someone just like you
Baby, everyday has always been the same thing
Till you came along
Now it's amazing
What a pleasant change
A thousand words I still can't explain
I never thought I'd be in love, in love like this
I never thought I'd be a fool just for one kiss
I never thought that I'd be here with someone like you
Never thought that I would be in love the way that I do
Baby, everyday has always been the same thing
Till you came along
Now it's amazing
What a pleasant change
A thousand words I still can't explain
I never thought I'd be in love, in love like this
I never thought I'd be a fool just for one kiss
I never thought that I'd be here with someone like you
Never thought that I would be in love the way that I do
Here I am still around and wondering
How did I make it without you
Like a fairy tale that has just came true
I'm so in love with you
I never thought I'd be in love, in love like this
I never thought I'd be a fool just for one kiss
I never thought that I'd be here with someone like you
Never thought that I would be in love the way that I do
