How’d I Know That Love Would Slip Away

Baby, just don't lie there
Baby, please don't stay
I can't help if I feel this way
Baby, I've been cryin'
Baby, I've been tryin'
Of failing love, I tried to say, yeah

How'd I know that love would slip away, slip away
How'd I know that love would slip away, slip away
(Hey-hey, yeah)

You always made some promises
You knew you never keep
But when you said you'd phone and didn't
You knew that I'd lose sleep
Tried to understand you
I did the best I could
But, boy, I can't keep lovin' you
That way I said I would

How'd I know that love would slip away, slip away
(How'd I know that love would slip away)
Tell me, how was I to know
It would slip away, yeah
(Hey-hey, yeah)

How was I to know
That love would slip away
Tell me, how'd I know
That love would slip away, yeah

How'd I know that love would slip away
(How'd I know love would slip away)
How'd I know that love would slip away
(Love slipped away)
(Hey-hey, yeah)

How'd I know that love would slip away
(How was I to know)
(It would go away, boy, I didn't know)
How'd I know that love would slip away
(I thought love would stay, I did)
(I thought it would stay)
(Hey-hey, yeah)

How'd I love that love would slip away
Broken promise, I didn't know
I thought our love was here to stay
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, you lied to me...
