lyrics

Say you’ll always love me so
Tell me that you’ll always, always be there
Tell me lies
Don’t waste all that restraint on me
I’m done with proud nobility
Hold me close, and tell me lies

The air is sweet from your lips as you embolden me
I play the fool
Your two-times tongue is forked and flickers pleasantly
Don’t make me repeat myself, break don’t bend the rules

Bring some of that love to me
Is it sweet, no no, so salty, like I like
Now tell me lies
Your words are like a bad disease
Can’t get enough, down on my knees
Heed my cries, and tell me lies

I bite my lip and shiver nervously
I’ve got goosebumps all across my skin
I hang on every word precariously
Telling fibs you know the trouble that you’re in

Oh, but I want you to
Don’t you know I’m not playing
Can’t you see a good thing
With the camera in your face?

You’re not so clever but you’re sticky sweet
And the smile doesn’t reach your eyes
For all your trouble though, it’s such a treat
To hear all of your lovely, lovely lies
