Lied - Barclay James Harvest

Give me a break

Give me just five minutes of your time

That’s all it takes to say I love you so

And in the time, I will tell you all the whys and wherefores

Of our love and how I lost control

And when my time with you is done

I’ll count my blessings one by one

And when my blessings number five

You’ll know why I lied

Give me a break

Give me just five minutes of your time

That’s all it takes to say I need you so

Not on the phone, no not even in your doorway

Just the two of us at your place on our own

And when my time with you is done

I’ll count my blessings one by one

And when my blessings number five

You’ll know why I lied

You’ll know why I lied

Give me a break

Don’t you think that I can give you reasons

Tell the truth, explain the circumstance

Reasons or not, I can’t talk with all these people round us

Don’t be cold, please give me one more chance

And when my time with you is done

I’ll count my blessings one by one

And when my blessings number five

Ooh baby you’ll know I lied

You’ll know that I lied…
