La-La-La-Lies Lyrics

If I'm so lost without a friend
Tell me, who's this by my side?
This girl with eyes like gems
And cool reactions to your lies
Lies - la-la-la-la-la-la-lies

You can't repeat what you put 'round
All the things that made me cry
You kicked me when I was down
And they hurt me all those lies
Lies - la-la-la-la-la-la-lies

I've got my girl and together we're strong (strong)
To laugh at you and prove you wrong

I don't insist that you feel bad
I just want to see you smile
Don't ever think you made me mad
I didn't listen to your lies
Lies - la-la-la-la-la-la-lies

If I'm so lost without a friend
Tell me, who's this by my side?
This girl with eyes like gems
And cool reactions to your lies
Lies - la-la-la-la-la-la-lies
I don't insist that you feel bad
I just want to see you smile
Don't ever think you made me mad
I didn't listen to your lies, lies
La-la-la-la-la-la-lies

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

In November 1966, the song was, without the permission of The Who, released in Britain as the fourth single from the My Generation album.

This track, according to Pete Townshend, “wasn’t as good as this before I did it with Keith. It’s not my favourite one on the LP. It reminds me a bit of Sandie Shaw.”
