you do not know
with what fervor I love you
you do not know
how very true

you say that now
but the questions how
makes me blue
‘cause it ain’t true

you always lie
it makes me cry
you say these things
yet no truth rings

why do you make them up every day
don’t they pain you much to say
why do you tell lies to me
lies do not set you free

they twist you up inside with pain
tie you down to the tracks of a train
they cut you up and give you scars
feels like getting hit by cars

don’t lie to me
