You got to tell a lie to love me baby
You got to do me wrong
I'm always open to precision bombing
But not concerning me
The stake is you and me so think about it
The wood ain't worth the tree
You got to tell a lie to love me baby
And say the truth goodbye
You got to stick to distant deviators
You better to learn to lie
You got to learn to lie to me
I walked a crooked mile to save you baby
So does it matter now
I love the way you lie when smiling baby
A passionate denial
No don't you kick a sleeping dog and never
Don't ever change your style
We got this farm of fiction working baby
The crop will come in dry
Don't have to take your guns tonight baby
The bad guys always die
You got to learn to lie to me
Only mist and foggy fables
But rumours always die
I never thought that you would listen
To such a stupid lie
Don't heat the warnings leaves stop falling
Phones stop calling wait till the morning
You got to tell a lie to love me baby give it at least a try
You got to have your songs all worked out baby your doodidoodidy
You got to beat around my bushes baby don't ask no reason why
You got to tell a lie to save me baby don't make me fantasize
You got to tell a lie to love me baby the kid has got my eyes
You got to learn to lie to me
There ain't no question lies can't answer baby stick to your alibi
Make them believe you missed your final plane and nobody left the isle
No you weren't there when nothing happened baby some fool can testify
Nobody saw your nails where dirty baby just blame the flirty vile
You've got to say the wrong words right baby
You got to tell a lie
You got to learn to lie to me
