Lyin' in his arms again Sayin' things that I don't mean Making love while I pretend You're the one who's holding me How it hurts to think I lie To the one who thinks the world of me So tonight I'll let him hold me and tell him I love him Lyin' in his arms again My heart is aching, filled with pain 'Cause tonight I meant to tell him but I put it off again Oh, I don't mean to hurt his pride 'Cause he has always been to me a lover and a friend to me And I just couldn't bear to see him cry So I'm lying in his arms again Saying things that I don't mean Making love while I pretend You're the one who's holding me How it hurts to think I'd lie To the one who thinks the world of me So tonight I'll let him hold me and tell him I love him Lyin' in his arms again It won't be long now till I tell the truth I'm gonna get my courage up and tell him about you This ring I'm wearing, it fits so tight Oh, you know it's choking me I wish that it would set me free Or I'll have to play pretend again tonight But I'm lyin' in his arms again Sayin' things that I don't mean Making love while I pretend You're the one who's holding me How it hurts to think I lie to the one who thinks the world of me So tonight I'll let him hold me and tell him I love him Lyin' in his arms again Lyin' in his arms again
