Lie

Today you asked me if I still like you
Ooh, I refused the urge to tell you that I do
Every single night
Before I turn out my light
Boy, you make me sigh
So I tell you a lie

Ooh, I lie, I lie, I lie, and I lie
I lie, I lie, I lie, baby I lie

I'm melting like butter in a pot
You know very well that you messed me up (don't you?)
The way you say it
Wish I can replay it
Instead I deny
And tell you a lie

Ooh, I lie, I lie, I lie, and I lie
I lie, I lie, I lie, yeah I lie

This isn't easy 
Holding this in me
This deep feeling
Can't be right

So I tell you a lie
Ooh I tell you a lie
And I lie, and I lie, and I lie
I might not be fooling anyone
But this lie is mine
