SongtexteTelling Me Lies

They say a woman's

a fool for weepin'

A fool to break her own heart

But I can't hold the secret

I'm keepin'

I'm breakin' apart

Can't seem to mind

my own business

Whatever I try turns out wrong

I seem like my

own false witness

And I can't go on

I cover my ears

I close my eyes

Still hear your voice

And it's tellin' me lies

Tellin' me lies

You told me you

needed my company

And I believed

in your flatterin' ways

You told me you

needed me forever

Nearly gave you

the rest of my days

Should've seen you

for what you are

Should never have

come back for more

Should've locked up

all my silver

Brought the key

right to your door

I cover my ears

I close my eyes

Still hear your voice

And it's tellin' me lies

Tellin' me lies

You don't know

what a chance is

Until you have to seize one

You don't know what a man is

Until you have to please one

Don't put your life

in the hands of a man

With a face for every season

Don't waste your time

in the arms of a man

Who's no stranger to treason

I cover my ears

I close my eyes

Still hear your voice

And it's tellin' me lies

Tellin' me lies

I cover my ears

I close my eyes

Still hear your voice

And it's tellin' me lies

I cover my ears

I close my eyes

Still hear your voice

Tellin' me lies
