Lyrics

Don’t play that song for me

’cause it brings back mem o ries

of days that I once knew,

the days that I spent with you.

Oh, no!

Don’t let them play it,

it fills my heart with pain.

Please stop it right a way

’cause I re mem ber just what he said.

He said, (C)“Dar ling.” (Dar

ling, I...)

And I know (G)that he lied.

(Dar

ling, I...)

You know that (F)you lied.

(Dar

ling, I...)

You know that you lied,

lied,

you lied.

(To me.)

Hey, mis ter, don’t (G)play it no more.

Don’t (G)play it no more,

I can’t stand it.

Don’t play it no (G)more,

no more, no more.

I re mem ber on our first date,

he kissed me and he walked a way.

I was on ly sev en teen,

I nev er dreamed

he’d be so mean.

He told me, (C)“Dar ling.” (Dar ling,

I love you.) Ba by, ba by, (G)you lied.

(Dar

ling, I need you.) You,

you (F)lied.

(Dar ling,

I love you.) You know that you lied,

lied,

(To me.)

Oh,

dar (C)ling.

(Dar ling,

I love you.) You know that (G)you lied, yeah.

(Dar

ling, I need you.) You know I (G)know you (F)lied.

(Dar ling,

I love you.)

Dar ling, you (G)lied,

you lied,

you lied.

You’re all that I need.

You (C)lied.

(To me.)

Oh,

you lied.

Hey, ba by, don’t (G)play it no (F)more.

Don’t do it, don’t play it no more,

no more, I can’t stand it no more!

(C)lied.

(To me.)

Oh,

you lied.

Hey, ba by, don’t (G)play it no (F)more.

Don’t do it, don’t play it no more,

no more, I can’t stand it no more!
