Baby, just don't lie there
Baby, please don't stay
I can't help if I feel this way
Baby, I've been cryin'
Baby, I've been tryin'
Of failing love, I tried to say, yeah
How'd I know that love would slip away, slip away
How'd I know that love would slip away, slip away
You always made some promises
You knew you never keep
But when you said you'd phone and didn't
You knew that I'd lose sleep
Tried to understand you
I did the best I could
But, boy, I can't keep lovin' you
That way I said I could
How'd I know that love would slip away, slip away
(How'd I know that love would slip away)
Tell me, how was I to know
It would slip away, yeah
How was I to know
That love would slip away
Tell me, how'd I know
That love would slip away, yeah
How'd I know that love would slip away
(How'd I know love would slip away)
How'd I know that love would slip away
(Love slipped away)
How'd I know that love would slip away
(How was I to know)
(It would go away, boy, I didn't know)
How'd I know that love would slip away
(I thought love would stay, I did)
(I thought it would stay)
How'd I love that love would slip away
Broken promise, I didn't know
I thought our love was here to stay
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, you lied to me
