Words Lyrics by The Monkees

Monkeemania (The Very Best of the Monkees)

1967

[Verse 1: Micky Dolenz & Peter Tork]
Girl, don't you know everytime I see you smilin'?
Hurts so bad 'cause when I see you, I start trying
I've tried everything to stop, but there's no denying
Falling in love with you girl is just like dying

[Pre-Chorus 1: Micky Dolenz]
Oh, don't walk away
Oh, how can I make you stay?
Don't turn away
I can still hear you saying those

[Chorus: Micky Dolenz]
Words that never were true
Spoken to help nobody but you
Words with lies inside
But small enough to hide
'Til your playin' was through

[Verse 2: Micky Dolenz & Peter Tork]
Girl don't you know we can work it out with talkin'?
You won't turn around or slow down your walking
I've given you everything with a kiss to seal it
You had to get your kicks outta tryin' to steal it

[Pre-Chorus 2: Micky Dolenz]
Now I'm standing here
Strange, strange voices in my ears
I feel the tears
But all I can hear are those

[Chorus: Micky Dolenz]
Words that never were true
Spoken to help nobody but you
Words with lies inside
But small enough to hide
'Til your playin' was through

[Pre-Chorus 2: Micky Dolenz]
Oh, I'm standing here
Strange, strange voices in my ears
I feel the tears
But all I can hear are those

[Chorus: Micky Dolenz]
Words that never were true
Spoken to help nobody but you
Words with lies inside
But small enough to hide
'Til your playin' was through

[Chorus: Micky Dolenz]
Words that never were true
Spoken to help nobody but you
Words with lies inside
But small enough to hide
'Til your playin' was through

[Chorus: Micky Dolenz]
Words that never were true
Just spoken to help nobody but you
