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
