Lie No Better

(앨범: One Of The Fortunate Few - 1997)

Here you come dragging in
Three a.m. again
Grinning that silly grin
Smelling just like sin
Holding up that alibi that's tissue paper thin
Digging down deeper and deeper
In that hole you're already in

If you can't lie no better
If you can't lie no better
If you can't lie no better than that,
You might as well tell the truth

I know you been fooling around
With some fool from way 'cross town
You're tearing our good thing down
Making me out your clown
Looking for excuses that you know can't be found

If you can't lie no better
If you can't lie no better
If you can't lie no better than that,
You might as well tell the truth

You say you was gone with that girl from up the street
But I know better
She called here looking for you and she told me
Said you never met her
And you could be more discreet
With your love letters
And honey I smell some other man
All over you cashmere sweater

If you can't lie no better
If you can't lie no better
If you can't lie no better
If you can't lie not better than that
If you can't lie no better
If you can't lie no better
If you can't lie no better than that,
You might as well tell the truth
