Letra

Don't play it no more
Don't play it no more
Don't play it no more
No no no no no no no
Don't play that song for me
It brings back memories
The days that i once knew
The days that i spent with you
Oh no! don't let it play
It fills my heart with pain!
Please stop it right away!
I remember jus what it said
It said "darling i love you" (you know that you lied!)
"darlin i love you" (you know that you lied!)
"darlin i love you" (you know that you lied-you lied you lied lied lied)
Remember on our first date?
You kissed me and you walked away...
You were only 17
I never thought you'd act so mean
But baby you told me you loved me
You told me you cared!
You said "ill go with you darlin-almost anywhere"
But baby you know that
"darling i love you" (you know that you lied!)
"darlin i love you" (you know that you lied!)
"darlin i love you" (you know that you lied-you lied you lied lied lied)
Don't play it no more
Don't play it no more
Stop it baby! no no no no no no no
Don't play it no more! baby please! don't play it baby!
Don't play it no more! no no no no no no stop it baby!
You know that you lied!
You know that you lied!

You know that you lied! stop it baby!
