Lie

[Verse 1]

Well, I've been swinging through these swinging doors for, aww, going on probably about 9 years now, maybe even 10

And

I watch old Joe at the end of the bar with another hot woman on his one good arm and they walk out for a while and he

Comes back in smiling, again

So I finally had to ask old Joe, "Man, what's your secret to success, your power of

Persuasion

Over the opposite sex"

And he says, "Son, well, honestly, it's pretty simple." He said, "I just kinda walk up and buy her

Drink and open up my mouth and Lie

I tell her I'm a movie star

I just flew into town to buy this bar

I'm Only here tonight, that's right

I gotta go, yeah, we're filming on location down in Mexico

Would you believe that I

Got

The leading role?

That's right, honey, I beat out a lot of folks that you'd probably know."

[Chorus]

Oh, a man has got to do

What a

Man's gotta do

Anything it takes to make her think you're cool

Ah, you got nothing to lose, so go on and try

Just

Walk

Right up and smile and look her dead in the eye

And lie

That's right lie

[Verse 2]

So I tried and tried a couple weekends and

It

Was like strike 1, strike 2, strike out again

But I narrowed it down, and I scratched it out, and I came up with

Something

That without a doubt I knew, I was gonna make old Joe proud

And I go up and I'd say

Hi Honey, whatcha doing for the

Rest of your life

I've been waiting such a long, long time

And you know what honey?

Meeting you here, man, it just

Really feels like fate

Oh I, I bet you didn't see me as a marrying type

Let's take it slow I don't just want one

Night, oh no

Darling

If you're looking for that you might as well look somewhere else

Well, because I'm just not that kind of guy

And Kids, oh I love kids

Dogs, in-laws, and a piece of land

Dirty diapers in my mini van

Aw man, I can hardly wait

[Chorus]
