You Lie

Reba McEntire · 50 Greatest Hits [2008]

We lie in the dark

I know you're awake

The only sounds are the sounds this old house makes

Oh how I long, I long to hear your voice



Desperate to talk

Yearning to touch

Burning inside cause I want you so much

So I say, I need you

And leave you no choice



[chorus]

You lie

You don't wanna hurt me, so you lie

Buy a little time

And I go along, what else I can do

Maybe it's wrong

But you know how much I love you

So you lie

Till you can find a way to say goodbye

You lie



How long until

You just can't go on

And the urge to break loose is just too strong

You should let go, if that's what you wanna do

Oh, but you don't know

If it's the right thing to do



[chorus]



You lie

Oh you lie

Oh you lie
