This break-up song was a change from The Monkees' typically upbeat, bubblegum pop music, but the band had to fight with their management to get it released. The group wanted a more mature sound and to be taken seriously, and the choice to release the song paid off- the song reached #11 on the Billbo...
[Verse 1: Micky Dolenz & Peter Tork]
Girl, don't you know everytime I see you smilin'?
Hurts so bad 'cause when I see you, I start trying
I've tried everything to stop, but there's no denying
Falling in love with you girl is just like dying
[Pre-Chorus 1: Micky Dolenz]
Oh, don't walk away
Oh, how can I make you stay?
Don't turn away
I can still hear you saying those
[Chorus: Micky Dolenz]
Words that never were true
Spoken to help nobody but you
Words with lies inside
But small enough to hide
'Til your playin' was through
[Verse 2: Micky Dolenz & Peter Tork]
Girl don't you know we can work it out with talkin'?
You won't turn around or slow down your walking
I've given you everything with kiss to seal it
You had to get your kicks outta tryin' to steal it
[Pre-Chorus 2: Micky Dolenz]
Now I'm standing here
Strange, strange voices in my ears
I feel the tears
But all I can hear are those
[Chorus: Micky Dolenz]
Words that never were true
Spoken to help nobody but you
Words with lies inside
But small enough to hide
'Til your playin' was through
[Pre-Chorus 2: Micky Dolenz]
Oh, I'm standing here
Strange, strange voices in my ears
I feel the tears
But all I can hear are those
[Chorus: Micky Dolenz]
Words that never were true
Spoken to help nobody but you
Words with lies inside
But small enough to hide
'Til your playin' was through
[Chorus: Micky Dolenz]
Words that never were true
Spoken to help nobody but you
Words with lies inside
But small enough to hide
'Til your playin' was through
[Chorus: Micky Dolenz]
Words that never were true
Just spoken to help nobody but you
