He says he's your friend, but you don't see him He   says that he's so damn busy, but he don't do   nothing at all You get him on the phone, he was   just gonna call you Says he's been thinking about   old times, and looking at your picture on the wall      He's stringin' you the same old lines, that he puts everyone through    They're only lies, intentions just won't do    For a time he feels no wrong,    'till he finds out we've caught on    He's stringin' a line, he's stringin' a line      So you try to forget, but that ain't so easy   'Cause if you've got one small doubt, there was   never anything there You dangle on a line, a   captive fool Well you know he'll try again, and it   will just be the same as last time      He's stringin' you the same old lines, that he puts everyone through    They're only lies, intentions just won't do    For a time he feels no wrong,    'till he finds out we've caught on    He's stringin' a line, he's stringin' a line      He's stringin' you the same old lines, that he puts everyone through    They're only lies, intentions just won't do    For a time he feels no wrong,    'till he finds out we've caught on    He's stringin' a line, he's stringin' a line
