You don't have to mean it
You just got to say it anyway
I just need to hear those words for me
You don't have to say too much
Babe I wouldn't even touch you anyway
I just want to hear you say to me
Sweet lies
Baby baby
Dripping from your lips
Sweet sighs
Say to me
Come on and play
Play with me baby
You don't have to mean it
You just got to say it to me baby
Whisper whisper whisper in my ear
(I don't believe it
I don't believe it)
I wouldn't want to use you
Ooh I wouldn't blame you anyway
If you never ever spoke to me
(I don't believe it)
Hmm just say those little words
Sit on my shoulder like a little bird
Baby sing those words for me
Sweet lies
Baby baby
Dripping from your lips
In the darkness
Sweet sighs
Ohh you make me cry
Oh baby baby you know it
You know what I want to hear
Dripping from your lips
I got to tell you baby
Dripping from your lips
You don't have to say too much
Whisper whisper baby baby
I just want to hear you say to me
(I don't believe it)
You don't have to mean it
Babe just say it anyway
I just need to hear those words
from your sweet lips
You don't have to mean it
You don't have to mean it
(I don't believe you)
You don't have to shout across the room
Just whisper whisper in my ear baby
