Don't Lie to Me

People talking but it ain't the truth

Lyin' ain't no substitute

You ought to be ashamed of yourself

Try to put the blame on somebody else

Ain't no reason I know

To stop you reaping what you sow

You must know right from wrong

Don't make out, you don't know what's going on

A man's gotta do it right

And if we gotta fight all night

That's alright. I got time

And fighting liars suits me just fine

A man oughta tell it true

According to his point of view

And whatever you want to be

Don't lie to me, don't lie to me

People talking round and round

Whisper rumours try to bring you down

You can't make shit into gold

And nothing's over 'til the story's told

People talking all around the world

Eating facts and throwing up words

Turn around so I can see your face

I don't care if you need your space

A man's gotta be a man

And you can see just what I am

There ain't no room for mistakes

Everybody knows the moves they ought to make

A man's gotta tell the truth

And if it's good, he don't need proof

And whoever you think you see

Don't lie to me, don't lie to me

People talkin' but they just don't know

Ain't got no pride no more

Want to be on TV so bad

They give away all the honour they had

Ain't no way I can see that people gonna listen to me

But I know what I know

And I'll see more than you'll ever show

A man's gotta play the game

And save the worth of his name

Cause waiting out there on the edge

Is everything you need to make a fool of yourself

And if you want to know the score

It that's what you're waiting for

Don't look at me, I won't tell

You better get out and see yourself

Don't lie to me, don't lie to me

Don't lie to me

You know I hate that shit baby

Don't lie to me, don't lie to me

Uh-huh honey, can't you see

Don't lie to me, don't lie to me
