Billy's home, he just got back from L.A.. Plenty of lines but nothing to say. Said I, seen this movie and it don't end nice. Looks like trouble in paradise.
Hey I know it's a modern world. And everybody's living for today. But you and I were gonna be the exception. Remember what you said Let'em all drop dead.
(Chorus). Stop trying, stop trying to call her,. She doesn't want your sympathy. Stop trying, stop trying to call her. She's exactly what she wants to be..
Johnny Colla / Huey Lewis. . Tell me a little lie to remember you by.. Just a little lie to remember you by.. Please don't tell me, that you're sorry..
Say you wanna be a friend of mine. See me all the time. You don't care what I do. . But it all sounds the same to me. Hey, can't you see. It's just like I told you.
I've paid my money and I'm taking my chances. I've done my share of city dances. If I fall I'll just play on through. . I deal with love the best as I'm able.
I'm no fool and I won't be cheated and lied to. I know you think that I'm so cruel. . But what about me, what am I supposed to do. Just stay home, stay home and watch TV.
It's not too pretty, it's such a shame. These things always end the same. You don't deserve just what you'll get. But you ain't learnt your lesson yet.
A girl like you is never wrong. Someone like me can't be too strong. I know you always get your way. You better listen when I say. . Don't. Don't make me do it.
I met her, down at the store on the corner. She was a prettier girl that was ever in a magazine. She was an angel, all dressed up like the devil. I knew I'd never forgive myself unless I asked her out this eve.
Tell me a little lie to remember you by.. Just a little lie to remember you by.. Please don't tell me, that you're sorry.. Tell me I was the one and only.
Did I just say something wrong. Did I just stay out too long. Could it be you've seen something that you don't want to see in me. Never had the perfect plan.
Hey I know it's a modern world. And everybody's living for today. But you and I were gonna be the exception. Remember what you said let 'em all drop dead.
Oh my god, I can't believe my eyes. Underneath that ghostly pale is that you. Someone in your shape shouldn't be driving. Someone in your shape shouldn't be doing anything at all.
It used to make me so fed up. People always asking me. What will you be when you grow up. You're gonna need security. Spent a little time in school. Wishing I was somewhere else.
If you worry over me like I worried over you. Don't do it, darlin', don't do it, darlin'. If you think I'm missin' you and I'm missin' kissin' you. Don't do it, darlin', don't do it, darlin'.
