I got misled, mistook, discard
Anything that I said
See I'm not the type to call you up drunk
But I've got some lies to tell
She hates her work but loves to flirt
It's a shame she don't work with me
She gets uptight and don't like when I'm gone
But she won't let on to me

I said, "I'm only looking out for you"
She said, "It's obvious that's a lie"
But I only ever put out for you
You know it's obvious you don't try

I got mistook and took the scent
And it's not as if you didn't notice
That I tried to steer you clear of this place
And wound up with nothing to show for it
I end up like that from me
She said, "You never got that from me"
She said, "You never got that from me"
But I feel you got that look from me

I said, "I'm only looking out for you"
She said, "It's obvious that's a lie"
I only ever put out for you
You know it's obvious you don't try

I said, "I'm only looking out for you"
She said, "It's obvious that's a lie"
I only ever put out for you
You know it's obvious you don't try

I got misled, mistook, discard
Anything that I said
See I'm not the type to call you up drunk
But I've got some lies to tell
