True Lies

(album: Trouble Is... - 1997)

Now where do you go after midnight
When all the doors should be closed
Your alibis just don't sound right
And I asked but nobody knows

Then you look me in the eye
And make it sound so very nice
With your true lies

Someone's been sleeping in my bed
'Cause this room don't smell like you and me
Someone's been sneaking out the window
Do you think I'm too blind to see

When you look me in the eye
And make it sound so very nice
With your true lies
It was a clever disguise
But, girl, I'm getting wise
To your true lies

Well you been doing this so long now
You're thinking it's the truth
I guess it don't seem wrong
If it ain't being done to you
You've got a lot to learn, baby
You can't keep it down
When the word gets in the wind
Then it's bound to blow back around

Girl, can you give me a reason
I bet you don't even know why
'Cause I can't figure out what you're thinking
Or what it is you're trying to justify

Hey, when you look me in the eye
And make it sound so very nice
With your true lies
It was a clever disguise
But, girl, I'm getting wise
To your true lies
Yeah, you can laugh, you can cry
But, girl, I just can't buy
Your true... true lies
