[Intro: Brian]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, hmmm!

[Verse 1: Brian]
There are people
That say what you wanna hear
Even on a raining day
They'll tell you the sky is clear
When you really really love someone
Am I right when I say that you want them near?
And if you can't even
Tell them things that they wanna hear

[Chorus: Brian]
Always forever, all things she said
Never say never
Those simple lies that she fed
I will never leave you
All the love I thought she had
But can you blame me, no
Because that's what she said
That's what she said
She told me we'd see forever
That's what she said, she said, yeah

[Verse 2: Brian]
And there are people
That say what they really mean
She said she'd always be there
She said she'd always care
But just when you think that you can
Trust that someone you love
Tell me why, or do you know
How stars can fall from above?

[Chorus: Brian]
Always forever, all things she said
Never say never
Those simple lies that she fed
I will never leave you
All the love I thought she had
But can you blame me, no
Because that's what she said
That's what she said
She told me we'd see forever
That's what she said
Oh, oh, oh, oh yeah
That's what she said
She told me we be together
That's what she said, she said

[Bridge: Brian]
'Cause you made promises
That you couldn't keep
But you're not hurting yourself
You're only hurting me (you're only hurting me)
Why would you say things that
You really didn't mean? (you really mean)
Oh, how can I make you see
Just what you did to me?

[Verse 3: Brian]
Oh-oh, you said how much you really cared
Just when I thought I was in love
Girl, how could you dare?
If I were you I could not lie even once
To the face of the one
That I love so much

[Chorus: Brian]
Always forever, all things she said
Never say never
Those simple lies that she fed
I will never leave you
All the love I thought she had
But can you blame me, no
Because that's what she said
That's what she said
She told me we'd see forever
That's what she said
Oh, oh yeah, that's what she said
She told me we'd be together
That's what she said, she said

The Backstreet Boys are the most successful boy band in history, having sold over 130 million records worldwide, and with their first nine albums reaching the top 10 on the Billboard 200. Florida natives A. J. McLean, Howie Dorough, and Nick Carter, along with Kentucky transplant Kevin Richardson, were joined in a band once they attended Lou Pearlman’s auditions for a vocal group in 1992, with the group being completed by Kevin’s cousin Brian Litrell. Once took under the wing of Swedish producer Max Martin in 1995, the stage was set for global domination, attracting the lust of women and the anger of men. While the fad died down and Kevin even left for a while, the band never officially took a break or such.
