Lyrics

Sometimes when you have a love one
And they have a problem (ooh-yeah, yeah, yeah)
They just seem to tell you the same old story (ooh, they keep on)
They tell you that they're not on drugs
They're not drinkin' (oh-ooh)
But still in all, it still hurts
Yeah (telling me stories) yeah, yeah
Ooh-ooh (telling me stories)
Oh-oh (all the time)
(Telling me stories) ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
(Telling me stories) yeah, yeah, yeah (all the time)
I don't know what the problem is
But you seem to be tellin' me old story, oh yeah
Why do you lie? That cause fuss and fights
I tried to talk to you so we can compromise
But you keep on tellin' me, oh
(Tellin' me stories) every time I ask you, baby
(Tellin' me stories) oh, oh, oh (all the time) yeah, yeah
(Tellin' me stories) ooh, baby
(Tellin' me stories) all the time
We have to talk more freely, girl, to realize that you're doin' wrong
But lately you've been actin' kind of shady
By lying, stealing, giving things that we own
But you keep on tellin' me, girl
Yeah, baby (tellin' me stories) yeah, baby
Why do you have to lie, baby? (Tellin' me stories)
When I ask you, baby (all the time)
You, baby (tellin' me stories) you, baby
I don't know what the problem is, baby (tellin' me stories)
Ah, ay-oh
Honey, don't you give up, I am here by your side
Through thick and thin, you'll always be mine
So keep on pushin' and reach for the sky (reach real high)
There's a lot of love between you and I, baby
So give it a try (oh, baby) ooh, yeah (na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na)
But you keep on tellin' me, yeah
(Tellin' me stories) that you don't need help
(Tellin' me stories) stop playin' games, yeah (all the time)
Come on and let me know
(Tellin' me stories) I need to know, baby
(Tellin' me stories) come on with it (all the time)
I'm with you all the way, baby
Come on, come on, come on (tellin' me stories)
Come on, come on, come on, baby
You need to seek some help (tellin' me stories)
You need to seek some help
Stop tellin' me stories (all the time)
(Tellin' me stories) ooh, take me by the hand, baby
Ooh, take me by the hand
It don't hurt to try a little bit, baby (tellin' me stories)
I need you here with me, I'm losin' you
Losing you, oh, yeah, yeah (all the time)
(Tellin' me stories) uh huh, I'm tired of fighting
You know I'm tired of fightin', baby (tellin' me stories)
We can compromise, we can compromise (all the time)
Oh lord, baby (tellin' me stories) yeah, baby
(Tellin' me stories) sometimes we gotta fill each other's love and warmness, baby
(Tellin' me stories) I need you here (all the time)
