Lyrics
Lies
I see the way he stares at you when you look away
Soon he?s going to make a move to sweep you awaythat?s his game
but you?d better not play
Take it from a woman who he?s burned before
If you listen to my lesson you might learn before it?s too late
Don?t share my fate--don?t fall for his
Lies, lies--he will tell you lies til you believe
Then he?ll leave.
When a man says he loves you after just one look
You can bet that he?s trying to bait the hook just for tonight
But you?d better not bite
Talk is cheap and his love is cheaper
Once he gets a woman he?ll never keep her satisfied
Just heartbreak and goodbye
Lies, lies he will tell you lies til you believe
Then he?ll leave
Lies lies look into his eyes and you will know
someday he?ll go
His words are like honey
And before long you?ll long for his kiss
But if you become his lover you?ll discover what his sweet talk is
Lies, lies--he will tell you lies til you believe
Then he?ll leave
Lies, lies--he will tell you lies til you believe
Then he?ll leave
Lies, lies--look into his eyes and you will know
someday he?ll go
It?s just lies.
