Lies Are Lies
© Sherri Baker

Someone told you I’m foolin’ around        
havin’ fun all over town
and now I see the blood in your eyes                  
and your smile turned upside down
how can you think those rumors are true
when I’ve always been faithful to you
you say we’re through well I think so too
but there’s one thing I won’t do..

I’m not leavin’
while you’re still seethin’
from the things you’re believin’ ‘bout me
I’m not takin’
the hurt you’re makin’ 
with love you’ve been fakin’ I see
save your last goodbye 
‘til I tell you why all those lies are lies 

People say you’re on the cheatin’ route     
and I said I have my doubts
but when I saw that girl in your arms                  
my heart turned inside out	
why should I take the heat for your beef
when I see you two-timin’ me
I’ll tell you Baby there’s no more ‘we’
and I won’t let you blame me..    

I’m not leavin’
while you’re still seethin’
from the things you’re believin’ ‘bout me
I’m not takin’
the hurt you’re makin’ 
with love you’ve been fakin’ I see
save your last goodbye 
‘til I tell you why all those lies are lies

You call those fast talkin’, night walkin’ drinkin’ buddies your friends
and show more faith in them than me time and time again

but
I’m not leavin’
while you’re still seethin’
from the things you’re believin’ ‘bout me
I’m not takin’
the hurt you’re makin’ 
with love you’ve been fakin’ I see
say your last goodbye 
‘cause now you know why all those lies are lies
