About Feelgood Lies

"Feelgood Lies" is a song by all-female German pop band No Angels. It was written by Pelle Ankarberg, Charlie Dore, Niclas Molinder, Maryann Morgan and Joacim Persson for the group's third studio album Pure (2003), while production was helmed by Molinder and Persson under their production moniker Twin, with Ankarberg serving as co-producer. A dark urban dance pop song that is built upon a heavy guitar riff and uplifting strings, the subjects of "Feelgood Lies" are revenge and karma. Not wanting to feel broken-hearted, the female protagonist warns a love interest to check his alibis. The song was picked as the album's third and final single. Released on September 22, 2003 in German-speaking Europe, following the official announcement of the group's indefinite hiatus in fall 2003, "Feelgood Lies" peaked at number three in Germany, number twelve in Austria, and number 29 in Switzerland at the singles charts, becoming the highest-selling single to be lifted from parent album Pure. Its accompanying music video was directed by Marcus Sternberg and filmed at the Photonics Center in Adlershof, Berlin. Twin later worked portions of "Feelgood Lies" into American recording artist Ashley Tisdale's song "Be Good to Me" (2006).

Just feel a little good lie
Check your alibi
Everybody tells a little story
Everybody tells a white lie
Sometimes you gotta be careful
You gotta check your reasons why
Guess you do what you gotta do (better watch your back)
Say what you say (be careful boy)
Everybody got a little secret
Everybody got a darker side
Did you think I wouldn't see right through it
Your alligator tears are dry
Gotta say where you're gonna be (better watch your back)
Where you're coming from (be careful boy)
Better run away, I don't wanna play
Who needs it anyway

You think you're irresistible
So hot it's unbelievable
I'm thinking you're just predictable
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Better check your alibi
When you look me in the eye
Make â??em real good lies
Like them feel good lies
Think I'm messing with your plan
I don't really give a damn
'Bout them real good lies
Them feel good lies

Come down, get a little real
Find something that can work for you
You ain't no superhero
Just a faker with an attitude
Be who you're gonna be (better watch back)
Come clean (be careful boy)
Better run away, I don't wanna play
Who needs it anyway

You think you're irresistible
So hot it's unbelievable
I'm thinking you're just predictable
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Better check your alibi
When you look me in the eye
Make â??em real good lies
Like them feel good lies
Think I'm messing with your plan
I don't really give a damn
'Bout them real good lies
Them feel good lies

Real good, feel good lies, no good alibi
Real good, feel good lies, no good alibi

You think you're irresistible
So hot it's unbelievable
I'm thinking you're just predictable
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Better check your alibi
When you look me in the eye
Make â??em real good lies
Like them feel good lies
Think I'm messing with your plan
I don't really give a damn
'Bout them real good lies
Them feel good lies
