“You Told Me (live)”

You told me you’d always stay, you told me
You told me you’d never stray, you told me
All these things you said you said sincerely
Still I am leaving you in spite of what you told me

I’ve heard things that did not match what you told me
And of your love that would not last that you told me
Forewarned is forearmed, it hurts, I’m leaving
I may be wrong, I can’t love what I’m just hearing

Times have made me shy
Of all the things you’re saying
Times have made me shy
Of girls and all the games they are playing

Someday I may see the truth in what you told me
I may find I left too soon and that you told me
Only things that you were honestly feeling
But I must have more to love than what you told me (I must have more to love than what you told me)
Yes, I must have more to love than what you told me (I must have more to love than what you told me)
Yes, I must have more to love than what you told me

Mike: Thank you!
