Steppenwolf - Someone Told A Lie lyrics

Words and music by John Kay and Bobby Cochran Someone told me about your… Somebody gossiped about my… But nobody warned us about those… Someone told a lie Now we don't trust each other's faces And I don't know what to think about you 'Cause we can't stand in each other's places And I can't trade with you We've had times together where the sparks would fly But in stormy weather we stood side by side Now we're cold and distant Watching love roll by Just when truth was needed Someone told a lie Some folks say I'm a sinner Some people claim I'm a saint But nobody knows who's the winner The truth was told too late Now I was raised to believe that you're different And I was told not to play with your kind Does anyone know why They were so hell bent on poisoning our minds? Now we're cold and distant Watching love go by Just when truth was needed Someone told a lie But I'll do what I have to You do what you can Just to keep on searching for the pride of man All those tears we wasted wondering why All those years were wasted fighting lies But I'll do what I have to You'll do what you can Just to keep on searching for the pride of man Black Leather Music, Inc., Cochin' Rockin' Publishing (BMI)
