well i'm sitting in my room with the door wide open
at the university
summer time and the place is empty
except for robin hood and me
‘cause i acted like a fool when last we parted
and you know i told a lie
i was wrong and i'm sorry now i can't even see you
i'm so lonesome i could cry
the truth is always best
i told a lie i must confess
but i was only trying to buy some time
you figured out the rest
i told a lie i must confess
never deceive your friends it always gets you in the end
well i'm waiting for someone and i'm looking for something
just to pass the time away
it's a dirty old room but i'll be seeing you soon
if i can think of what i'd say
if i said i'm coming back would you wait there for me
do i still play on your mind
can i open the door or am i clutching at straws
have i finaly lost this time
the truth is always best
i told a lie i must confess
but i was only trying to buy some time
you figured out the rest
i told a lie i must confess
never deceive your friends it always gets you in the end
summer time is a state of mind
they're all having fun i got left behind
i learned my lesson but i paid this time
they're all having fun i got left behind
the truth is always best
i told a lie i must confess
but i was only trying to buy some time
you figured out the rest
i told a lie i must confess
never deceive your friends it always gets you in the end
