Love Lies

By michael mcdonald and randy goodrum



What's that lyin' on her pillow

Folded up so neat

What once was love is now a letter

Lying where she used to sleep

Oh, i thought love was something i could count on

But it took her to show me that



Chorus:

Love lies-right to your face

Love lies-just when i had faith

It would let me down

I know that love lies-right to the end

Love lies-i know the word will never mean the same to me



What's this emptiness inside me

Where her promise used to be

She said she'd be here to guide me

I guess now the joke's on me

Oh, i thought love was something like devotion

But it took her to show me that



Chorus:



Just when you think you know what love is about

Someone takes your place, and you find that
