Sweet Lies

Intro:

Now Jack is the mack and he comes around every Monday,

oh Tuesday and Wednesday,

Every day of the week

And even though I try to tell you that I love you from the bottom of my heart

You had no place for me,

It's all vanity now

Chorus:

You fell for one a them sweet lies

The ones you don't want to believe in

When your heart's not hearing

What your brain is saying

And you're weak in the knees

Another sweet lie

The kind you don't want to believe

When the heart's in doubt you got to stay out

Verse 1:

Now the wine and the roses

Stop coming around sometime ago

But you won't admit that so, you pretend

I know it's hard to look your best

Wearing that same old shabby dress

So you stay at home, waiting by the phone

Repeat Chorus

Verse 2:

Now it gives me no pleasure to say I told you so,

It's been hard to keep it low

Knowing the things I know

Maybe in another place and in another time

Under different circumstances

You will find happiness, so I suggest

Don't take foolish chances no

Repeat Verse 3:

Repeat Chorus
