Li-i-i-ie... Li-i-i-ie... Li-i-i-ie...
I'll pretend that I got over it, when I know it's a lie!
Seven thirty, bright and early
Who would've ever thought, I'd be hurtin
When I seen you, can't believe that I seen you (Oh, oh)
First I told myself, "Wait a minute
Calm yourself down, and give him the benefit of the doubt"
And that's when he showed out...
He was: holdin and kissin
Smilin and whisperin
Sweet nothing's in her ear (yeah, yeah)
He looked so in love, like he loved him most of all
And right then I closed my eyes
To pretend like I didn't, see that girl leavin your crib
When I know that I did
I'll pretend it didn't hurt me, pretend I didn't cry
I'll pretend that I got over it, when I know it's a lie
Li-i-i-ie... Li-i-i-ie... Li-i-i-ie...
I'll pretend that I got over it, when I know it's a lie!
My head told me, "You were worth it"
My heart told me, "Girl desert it"
He's no good (oh) But I can't let you go!
Cause I keep thinking, back in the times when we were so in love
Back in the times when no one could break us up
Where did we go wrong? You were...
Holdin and kissin
Smilin and whisperin
Sweet nothings in her ear (yeah, yeah)
He looked so in love, like he loved her most of all
And right then I closed my eyes
To pretend like I didn't, see that girl leavin your crib
When I know that I did
I'll pretend it didn't hurt me (no, no) pretend I didn't cry
I'll pretend that I got over it, when I know it's a lie
Li-i-i-ie... (I know you been lyin to me!) Li-i-i-ie... (I know you been lyin to me, know you been lyin to me)
Li-i-i-ie... (Oh, oh)
I'll pretend that I got over it, when I know it's a lie!
I'm gonna lie to myself right now
Aint got no time to figure out why
My babe goin out in the middle of the night
To break my heart
And I'm not ready to fight that fight
I still can't forget but I'm gonna try
So when he come thru that door
I'm gonna love him a little more
To pretend like I didn't, see that girl leavin your crib
When I know that I did
I'll pretend it didn't hurt me, pretend I didn't cry
I'll pretend that I got over it, when I know it's a lie
La-Lie, la-lie, la-lie...
I'll pretend that I got over it, when I know it's a lie!
Polow: Yeah (no...) Paris... and Destinee, yeah let's go (let's go!)
Zone 4! yeah! said it's Paris and Destinee, Destinee.
Said it's Paris and Destinee yeah...
