All He Did Was Tell Me Lies Lyrics - Singles - Kim Carnes

The King of Hearts has won the final inning 

He's made his move and played his hand so well 

Everyone thinks he's got it made 

'Cause no one can tie him down 

Everybody says he was a damn fool 

For givin' me the run-around 

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

After all the talk, I guess he won the prize 

He never meant to stay 

How could he do it to me? 

Everybody says I was a damn fool 

To listen to his run-around 

Now, I was tryin' 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? 

Everybody says 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 the talk, I guess he won the prize 

He never meant to stay 

How could he do it to me? 

Everybody says I was a damn fool 

To listen to his run-around 

The King of Hearts can't play his game forever 

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

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 

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