Baby, just don't lie there
Baby, please don't stay
I can't help if I feel this way
Baby, I've been crying, I've been trying
I fell in love, I tried to say
How'd I know that love would slip away
How'd I know that love would slip away
You always made some promises
You knew you'd never keep
But when you said you'd phone and didn't
You knew that I'd lose sleep
Tried to understand you, baby
Did the best I could
Boy, I can't keep loving you
The way I said I would
How'd I know that love would slip away
How'd I know that love would slip away
Baby, please don't stay
I can't help if I feel this way
Baby, I've been crying, I've been trying
I fell in love, I tried to say
How'd I know that love would slip away
How'd I know that love would slip away
You always made some promises
You knew you'd never keep
But when you said you'd phone and didn't
You knew that I'd lose sleep
Tried to understand you, baby
Did the best I could
Boy, I can't keep loving you
The way I said I would
How'd I know that love would slip away
How'd I know that love would slip away
