I know somebody and they cry for you
They lie awake at night and dream of you
I bet you never even know they do
But somebody’s crying

I know somebody and they called your name
A million times and still you never came
They go on loving you just the same
I know that somebody’s trying

So please
Return the love
You took from me
Or please
Let me know
It can’t be me
I know when somebody’s lyin'
I know when somebody’s lyin'

I know that somebody’s lyin'
I know that somebody’s lyin'

Give me a sign and let me know we’re thru
If you don’t love me like I love you
But if you cry at night the way I do
I’ll know that somebody’s lyin'

So please
Return the love
You took from me
Or please
Let me know
It can’t be me
I know when somebody’s lyin'
I know when somebody’s lyin'

    General Comment:This song is a very catchy song by itself even if you dont listen to the lyrics. And Chris Isaak sings in only a way he could. I agree with zombie eater, this song really does cheer you up in a way. Has for me before. It has such a good atmosphere when your feeling down, maybe this is because you may be thinking someone else has felt low like this before thus gives you a lil hope. You sure can feel for Chris when he sings this song.

    General Comment:It seems that he and this woman were in a relationship... and she seems to have "lost the spark" or whatever term u wish to use. But...obviously, he has his doubts..he seems to think she could be fooling herself..but she doesnt wanna talk to him...so he's just pleading for her to come back or just tell him outright that it's over... coz...he "knows whem somebody's lying" all he needs to hear is 'yes' or 'no'.

    General Comment:basically
    he loves this girl
    and he doesnt know if she likes him or not...
    and hes asking her to tell
    "So please
    Return the love
    You took from me
    Or please
    Let me know
    It can’t be me"

    General Comment:The whole album is about a lost love. It's not all that abstract for the most part.
