True Lies - Lyrics by Kenny Wayne Shepherd


Lyrics

Where do you go after midnight
When all the doors should be closed
Your alibis just don't sound right
I asked but nobody knows
Then you look me in the eye
And make it sound so very nice
With those true lies

Someone's been sleepin' in my bed
This room don't smell like you and me
Someone's been sneakin' out the window
Do you think i'm too blind to see
When you look me in the eyes
And, make it sound so very nice
With those true lies
It was a clever disguise
But, girl, i'm gettin' wise
To your true lies

You been doin' this so long now
You're thinkin' it's the truth
I guess it don't seem wrong if it
Ain't bein' done to you
Gotta lot to learn, baby,
You can keep it down
Word gets in the wind
Then it's bound to blow back around

Girl, can you give me a reason
I bet you don't even know why
Can't figure out what you're thinkin'
Or what it is you're tryin' to justify
When you look me in the eyes
And make it sound so very nice
With your true lies
It was a clever disguise
But, girl, i'm gettin' wise
To your true lies
You can laugh, you can cry
But, girl, i just can't buy
Those true lies
