Yeah, I’ve said the words so often And so many times the same, That sometimes when I say them now I’m not sure I know her name. So when I met you I was sure Just like the times before That I would love you for a while, Then show you out the door. Chorus But you told me that you loved me, And you told me I would know, ‘cause you felt way deep down in your heart My love for you would grow. V2 So I told you you were beautiful, And I told you you were fine, And just maybe when the stars were right That someday, you’d be mine, And I told you all the pretty words You could ever want to hear, But then I felt a little tug, A tiny twinge of fear. Instrumental bridge V3 So I told you that my love for you Was nothing more than dust. That whatever I may feel for you Was little more than lust, And I told you I was sorry ‘Cause life was just that way, And I never really loved you, And that you should go away.   Chorus But you told me that you loved me, And you told me I would know, ‘cause you felt way deep within your heart My love for you would grow. V4 Then you took me in your open arms, And you said you’d never part, And you told me that our souls were one, You could feel it in your heart, And my struggle to be free from you Grew much weaker with each day, So when you silenced all my fears There was just one thing to say, V5 So I told you that I loved you, And I told you that I knew ‘cause the happy feelin’ in my heart was oh, so sweetly true. Yet though my heart is peaceful now I wonder to this day, Where would I be if you told me That I should go away? Chorus But you told me that you loved me, And you told me I would know, ‘cause you knew way deep within your heart That my love for you would grow.
