All He Did Was Tell Me Lies

The king of hearts has won the final inning

He made his move and played his hand so well

And everyone thinks he's got it made

'Cause no one can tie him down

Everybody said he was a damn fool

Giving me the runaround

All he did was tell me lies to try to woo me

After all his talk, I guess he won the prize

Never meant to stay, how could he do it to me?

Oh, everybody said I was a damn fool

To listen to his runaround

I was trying to act just like a lady

I turned him down, then he took me by surprise

Now, who would have thought that a girl like me

Could be swayed so easily?

Oh, everybody said I was a damn fool

'Cause I gave what he took for free

All he did was tell me lies to try to woo me

After all his talk, I guess he won the prize

I never meant to stay, how could he do it to me?

Oh, everybody said I was a damn fool

To listen to his runaround

Now, the king of hearts can't play his games forever

And the jester's not the fool when the king is old

Oh, later on, will he think of me when his castle walls get cold?

Will he care to call? Will he care at all?

All he did was tell me lies to try to woo me

After all his talk, I guess he won the prize

Never meant to stay, how could he do it to me?

Oh, everybody said I was a damn fool

To listen to his runaround

Hey, all he did was tell me lies to try to woo me, oh

After all his talk, I guess he won the prize

I never meant to stay, how could he do it to me?

Oh, everybody said I was a damn fool

To listen to his runaround

Yes, everybody said I was a damn fool

To listen to his runaround
