Delbert McClinton Lyrics for Song: Lie No Better
 Lyrics for Album: One Of The Fortunate Few [1997]
 
 
 
 17707>Here you come draggin' in
 
 Three a.m. again
 
 Grinnin' that silly grin
 
 Smellin' just like sin
 
 
 
 Holdin' up that alibi that's tissue paper thin
 
 Diggin' down deeper and deeper
 
 In that hole you're already in
 
 
 
 If you can't lie no better
 
 If you can't lie no better
 
 If you can't lie no better than that
 
 You might as well tell the truth
 
 
 
 I know you been foolin' around
 
 With some fool from way 'cross town
 
 You're tearin' our good thing down
 
 Makin' me out your clown
 
 Lookin' for excuses that you know can't be found
 
 
 
 If you can't lie no better
 
 If you can't lie no better
 
 If you can't lie no better than that
 
 You might as well tell the truth
 
 
 
 You say you was gone with that girl from up the street
 
 But I know better
 
 She called here lookin' for you and she told me
 
 Said you never met her
 
 
 
 And you could be more discreet
 
 With your love letters
 
 And honey, I smell some other man
 
 All over your cashmere sweater
 
 
 
 If you can't lie no better
 
 If you can't lie no better
 
 If you can't lie no better
 
 If you can't lie not better than that
 
 
 
 If you can't lie no better
 
 If you can't lie no better
 
 If you can't lie no better than that
 
 You might as well tell the truth
