Little Feat – Loved And Lied To lyrics

Bill Payne, Craig Fuller, Fichie Hayward, Paul Barrere
Wanna go back home, but I'm afraid to fly
Wanna fall in love, but the price is way too high
And I'd like to go to heaven, but I don't wanna die
And I'd like to hang around, but I'm not about to lie

Oh you really laid me low last night
A beautiful deception
You're messin' with my line of sight
Changing my perception
Of the push and shove that come with love
And the pain you put me through
You see I'd never been loved and then lied to

And I don't need no final glance
Don't need a romance left to circumstance
It's much too high a price to pay
Don't need to know the reason why you walked away

Loved and lied to, brought down broken hearted
Hung out to dry alone and left to take a chance
To try and find someway to take me back to where we started
Brought down, laid low, turned around and loved and lied to

And I wanna fall in love again with sweet infatuation
Wanna rise above the cares and heartaches of my station
And I'm dreamin' of a life that I could live with resignation
Where I wouldn't be loved and denied to

Don't give me that solemn gaze
Don't start in talkin' 'bout better days
Don't start turnin' things around
Don't try to make me think you didn't mean to let me down

Loved and lied to, brought down broken hearted
Hung out to dry alone and left to take a chance
To try and find someway to take me back to where we started
Brought down, laid low, turned around and loved and lied to
