Some of My Lies Are True |
Say you wanna be a friend of mine
See me all the time
You don't care what I do
But it all sounds the same to me
Hey, can't you see
It's just like I told you
I know you think that I've
Been stringing you along
And that I've told you a few, but
(Chorus)
Sooner or later when you say I love you
You're gonna realize that
Some of my lies are true
I never told you that I was the one
Said it just for fun
You know, you knew it too
So why so much on the telephone
I'm never home
It's just like I told you
Because it's real the way you used to make me feel
It makes it so hard to say
But nothing can change the way I feel today
Don't you see that
Sooner or later when you say I love you
Your gonna
Realize that some of my lies are true
(Repeat chorus x 2)
Because it's real the way you used to make me feel
It makes it so hard to say but
Nothing can change the way I feel today
Don't you see that
(Repeat chorus x 3)
A girl like you is never wrong
Someone like me can't be too strong
I know you always get your way
You better listen when I say
(Chorus)
Don't make me do it
Don't make me do it to ya
Don't make me do it
Don't make me do it to ya
I won't just be your broken toy
You look again you've got no choice
There's no such thing as wrong or right
when does the day become the night
(Chorus)
(Chorus)
Stop trying, stop trying to call her,
She doesn't want your sympathy
Stop trying, stop trying to call her
She's exactly what she wants to be.
She goes up and down but never goes out
She's getting it all for free
She's shadow boxing loosing the bout
Its pretty easy to see
I know you've, you've seen a better sight
You say you really wanna help
You better open your eyes, hey
We see the morning face in the bathroom mirror
She's careful never to see
It tells a story of the sleepless nights
not what she seems to be
I know you've, you've seen a better days
You say you owe it to yourself
You're gonna change your ways
(Chorus to fade)
I've paid my money and I'm taking my chances
I've done my share of city dances
If I fall I'll just play on through
I deal with love the best as I'm able
I keep my cards on top of the table
I don't spend much of my time blue
(Chorus)
And now here's you
And now here's you.
Here is you
There's never been anything that any girl could say
There's never been one got to me anyway
And I sure thought I knew my heart too
I got eyes but I didn't see you coming
You could have been just any woman
and if you are why am I so blue
It must be you
(Chorus)
When you're not looking is when you're found
Love comes looking to spin you around,
Round and round
I've been in love too much too deep
If you don't need loving
What's it gonna be
It's gotta be, yeah yeah
(Chorus to fade)
I know you, you know me
You want love, I want that too
(Chorus)
I want you, to stay until my love is through
I want you, to make tonight forever
I know just what I want
You're not so sure
If I give you all I've got
Would your love be pure
(Repeat Chorus)
I met her, down at the store on the corner
She was a prettier girl that was ever in a magazine
She was an angel, all dressed up like the devil
I knew I'd never forgive myself unless I asked her out this eve
So I asked to the movies and she put her arms around me
Right at the start of the show
The she kissed me on the ear and she whispered dear love
She said, don't ever tell me that you love me
Just don't say those three words
To me so I don't ever have to be true.
She said, don't ever tell me that you need me
Just don't say those three words to me so I don't have to worry
Can you imagine how it hit me
And the funny thing is that it was just occurring to myself
So I said, hey don't jump to conclusions
Just what makes you so sure that I could ever fall for you myself
But even as I said it,
I knew I never meant it
I could feel cupids arrow from above
By the end of the movie I was falling in love
She said, don't ever tell me that you love me
Just don't say those three words to me so I don't ever have to be true.
She said, don't ever tell me that you need me
Just don't say those three words to me so I don't have to worry about you
Don't ever tell me that you love me
just don't say those three words to me so I don't have to worry about you
Just don't say those three words to me so I don't have to worry about you
It's not too pretty, it's such a shame
These things always end the same
You don't deserve just what you'll get
But you ain't learnt your lesson yet
So what if he, said I love you
So what if he, thought he'd be true, well
(Chorus)
Love, is whispered token, and
Hearts, were meant to be broken
City girl it's always this way
Romeo leaves with nothing to say
So what about you and your surprise
Come on babe and dry your eyes
When will you see that he was fool
When will you see he followed the rules, that
(Repeat Chorus)
You know that
(Repeat Chorus)
Billy's home, he just back from LA
Plenty of lines but nothing to say
Seen this movie and it don't end nice
Looks like trouble in paradise
He used to be cool he used to laugh a lot
Down at the brothers in the parking lot
now he's sick, and he's scared and he's paying the price
(Chorus)
Trouble in paradise
Trouble in paradise,
Momma said he always was so nice
Trouble in paradise
American son he's not very old
An American dream that's never been sold
The smile on his face is his last disguise
We've got trouble in paradise
There's a scream inside that shouts here I am
Some people say you we've got to do all we can
Me I don't know you see I've been there myself once or twice
(Repeat Chorus)
Moving on the evening of the 87th day
Maybe a solution might affect you right away
Jesus taught himself, a certain state of mind
Line em up, move em along, haven't got much time
(Chorus)
Who cares? no one's talking anyway
Who cares? won't the problem go away
Who cares? change the channel, standard shift
Who cares? does any body give a shit?
Dimwits on the freeway stay alive at 55
Politicians speeding, just trying to survive
Couldn't stop the press, what was a bloody mess
Mashin' down a paper sack and couldn't pass the test
(Repeat Chorus)
I'm no fool and I won't be cheated and lied to
I know you think that I'm so cruel
But what about me, what am I supposed to do
Just stay home, stay home and watch TV
(Chorus)
If you really love me you let me
You always try to upset me
If you really love me you let me
If you love me you'll let me go
I can see that you don't really believe me
You think you should be able to do what you wanna do
Well why should I let you make an idiot of me
Anyway is that all you can do is say
(Repeat Chorus)
