Tell Me a Lie Songtext
von Bettye LaVette

Tell me a lie
Say I look familiar
Though, you know you don′t
Even know my name

Tell me a lie
Say you just got into town
Even though I've seen you here before
Just hangin′ around

Tell me a lie (tell me)
Say you're not a married man
'Cause you don′t know I saw
You slip off your weddin′ band

Tell me a lie (tell me)
Say you got no place to stay
But you'll be glad to drive me home
′Cause it's on your way


Tell me a lie
When you take me home
(Tell me a lie)
I don′t really want to spend this night alone

Tell me a lie
Don't worry ′bout my sorrow
You'll be long gone tomorrow
And you won't have to see me cry
Tell me a lie
(C′mon tell me a lie)

Tell me a lie
Tell me that you need me
And I′ll pretend that it's for real
The way you want me to

Please, tell me a lie
When you′re layin' close beside me
And whisper when you holdin′ me
Sweet words like "I love you"

Tell me a lie (tell me)
When the night is almost over
Make it easy on both of us
When it's time for you to go


Tell me a lie (tell me)
Say you′d really like to stay
Come on and tell me one more lie
Say you're coming back someday

Tell me a lie
When you take me home
(Tell me a lie)
I don't really wanna spend this night alone

Tell me a lie
Don′t worry a′out my sorrow
You'll be long gone tomorrow
And you won′t have to see me cry, oh, oh
Tell me a lie

Tell me a lie
When you take me home
(Tell me a lie)
I don't really wanna spend the night alone

Tell me a lie
Don′t worry about my sorrow
You'll be too long gone tomorrow
And you won′t have to see me cry

Tell me a lie
When you take me home
(Tell me a lie)
I don't really wanna spend the night alone

Tell me a lie
Don't worry ′bout my sorrow
You′ll be long gone tomorrow
And you won't have to see me cry
