Lyrics
- Somebody lied; lied when they said
I never cried and cried when you said
“Goodbye, goodbye”
Somebody’s wrong, wrong when they say
I didn’t care when you went away
They lie! They lie!
Chorus
If I didn’t care, would I feel like I do?
If I didn’t care, would I still cry for you?
Would I go around the town down-hearted?
If I didn’t really feel down-hearted?
If I never cared, would I remember still
Ev’ry kiss we shared and ev’ry other thrill?
I wouldn’t miss you like I do
If I didn’t care for you
- Who could have said, who could have said
I never cared that our love was dead?
They lie! They lie!
Little they know, little they know
How much I’ve paid for loving you so
Here’s why! Here’s why!
