Tell me a lie Say I look familiar Even though I know That you don't even know my name Tell me a lie Say ya just got into town Even though I've seen you here before Just hangin' around Umm, tell me a lie, say you're not a married man Cause you don't know I saw you slip off your wedding band Tell me a lie When you take me home Tell me a lie I don't really want to spend the night alone Tell me a lie Don't worry about my sorrow You'll be long gone tomorrow And you won't have to see me cry Just tell me a lie Ooh, tell me a lie When our night is almost over And make believe that it's for real The way you want me to Come on, tell me a lie When you're lying close beside me And whisper when you hold me Sweet words, "I love you" Tell me a lie When you take me home Tell me a lie I don't really want to spend the night alone Tell me a lie Don't worry about my sorrow You'll be long gone tomorrow And you won't have to see me cry Just tell me a lie
