How Do I Tell Them
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Some girls never learn
Like me, for instance
Everybody's talkin', they all want to know
Why have I been spendin' all this time alone
Do I say he joined the Army
Was lost in Katmandu
I've got to find a story
That's better than the truth
(Chorus)
How do I tell them
I was just a fool for love
How do I tell them
I was just a fool for love
How do I tell them
I was just a fool for love
How do I tell them
Fool for love
They all tried to warn me
But I couldn't see
I was busy laughin'
Now the joke's on me
I said he was the real thing
They told me, "Don't get stung"
What I thought was forever
Was him just havin' fun
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
(Repeat chorus)
How do I tell them
It's so embarrassing
How do I tell them
I gave everything I had
How do I tell them
They said I'd never change him
How do I tell them
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
I said he was the real thing
They told me, "Don't get stung"
What I thought was forever
Was him just havin' fun
