He says he's your friend But you don't see him He says he's so damn busy but he don't do nothin' at all So you get him on the phone, he was just gonna to call you Says he was thinking about old times And lookin' at your picture on the wall He's stringin' you the same old lines He puts everyone through They're only lies, intentions just won't do For the time he feels no wrong Til he finds out we've caught on He's stringin' a line He's stringin' a line So you try to forget But that ain't so easy If you've got one small doubt, that there was ever anything there So you dangle on a line, a captive fool You know you'll try again But it'll just be the same as last time He's stringin' you the same old lines He puts everyone through They're only lies, intentions just won't do For the time he feels no wrong Til he finds out we've caught on He's stringin' a line He's stringin' you the same old lines He puts everyone through They're only lies, intentions just won't do For the time he feels no wrong Til he finds out we've caught on He's stringin' a line He's stringin' a line He's stringin' a line He's stringin' a line He's stringin' a line He's stringin' a line He's stringin' a line
