Book of Lies Songtext
von Bettye LaVette

Memories going through my head
Accompanied by tears and sighs
I′m laying here on my lonely bed
Reading from my book of lies

I read all your ruthless words
Through these tears in my eyes
Calculated and fruitless words
They're written down here in my purple lies

Oh, how you promised
Said you′d love me right from the start
But every promise you made was a promise broken
And every broken promise broke my heart


Now as I read it, where you said to me
"Honey, I'm gonna love you 'til the sun don′t rise"
Like all weepers, I weep alone
Reading from my book of lies

Oh, how you promised and promised
Said you′d love me right from the start
But every promise you made was a promise broken
And every broken promise broke my heart

Now, as I read it
Where you said to me
"Baby, I'll love you ′til the sun don't rise"
Like all weepers
I weep alone, readin′ from my book of lies
Like all weepers
I weep alone, readin' from my book of lies
