The Truth Is I Lied - Billy Joe Royal

It’s been twenty four hours

Since you walked away

If I knew where to call you

I know just what I’d say

I’d tell you, I’m sorry I hurt you

And I know that I went too far this time

When I said, I don’t love you

The truth is I lied

I should have been more careful

With your tender heart

When I said all those mean things

Words that tore you apart

Like I don’t want you, I don’t need you

I didn’t mean it, it was only my pride

When I said, I don’t love you

The truth is I lied

Oh, baby, come back and love me

Make everything right

When I said, I don’t love you

The truth is I lied

When I said, I don’t love you

The truth is I lied
