Well, little girl you can roll your eyes at the very sight of me
Do everything in spite of me
But baby don't you lie to me
I'll take your mood swings, I'll dig a hole in your dishonesty
I will kneel down in your company
But baby don't you lie to me
I'll be your red-cheeked lover and your man of regret
There'll be no desert too dry and no ocean too wet
I'll be your punchbag substitute, I'll sharpen your claws
When you come tumbling down you're still in my thoughts
Well, there's a one thing, baby, I could never reply
No matter how much you beg, no matter how hard you try
You can't tell me that I'll never be free
Baby don't you lie to me
Well, little sister, I can handle the thought of you despising me
Dancing on my grave and baptising me
As long as baby you don't lie to me
I'll bend until you have broken my will I'll be no enemy
You'll never hear so much as a complaint from me
As long as baby you don't lie to me
Well, you can take my house, don't take my pride
Take all my valentines cards and tear them open wide
Chase my friends, ruin my name
I won't ever fight back, I'll be easy to blame
Well, there's just one thing, baby, I will always despise
Not the crack of your whip or the hatred in your eyes
I got only one reasonable plea
Baby don't you lie to me
Burn my house, throw me out, pull me down, sell my clothes
I'll dig you out of a hole when your ignorance shows
I'll be anything you need me to be
Baby don’t you lie to me
Every time your lips move, baby
Someone somewhere's bound to cry
I don't even think you're quite
Aware of how or why
Life for you could be so easy
If you'd only shut your mouth
Every time you feel those words come
Running out, running out, running out
Running out, running out, running out
Running out, running out, running out
Running out, running out, running out
There's just one thing, baby, I could never abide
No matter how much you beg no matter how hard you try
You can tell me that I'll never be free
Baby don't you lie to me
Drag my name and reputation over the cold hard stones
Break my heart up into pieces, honey, shatter my bones
You can kill me with your repartee
Baby don't you lie to me
Yeah, there's just one thing, baby, I will always despise
Not the crack of your whip or the hatred in your eyes
I got only one reasonable plea
Baby don't you lie to me
Burn my house, throw me out, pull me down, sell my clothes, oh yeah
I'll dig you out of a hole when your ignorance shows
I'll be anything you need me to be
Baby don't you lie to me
