From the recording Brown Bottle Flu
Lyrics
Lie To Me
I see that look on your face
Before the words make it over my tongue
And I see that fear in your eyes
Well it’s beggin’ ‘em not to come
That smile that you painted on
Well it’s looking pretty strained
I know what the answer is
But I ask you just the same
And hope that you will lie
It’s only love that we’re talking about
So, come on, baby, lie to me
Don’t rip my heart right out of my mouth
Come on, sugar, lie
Come on, baby, lie
Come on, sugar, lie to me
Lie and just make me believe
Now we’re both swimming
And we’re stranded far from shore
My words were an iceberg
And we landed overboard
And I’m too cold to grab on to the weak attempts that you mount
I can’t breathe as the darkness drags me down
So why didn’t you lie?
It’s just your heart that we’re talking about
Come on, sugar, lie to me
You just ripped mine right out of my mouth
Come on, baby, lie
Come on, sugar, lie
Come on, baby, lie
Lie and just make me believe
Tell me I’m your everything
Take me right out of my need
Oh and just make me believe
