Black and White Lies

(John Fowler)



Black and white lies from left to right

Are in the letter I write tonight

I stopped being lonely when you left

And I'm now at the top among the best.



I have money, throw big parties and have a lot of friends

I never lose, I just win

I'm sending back the picture that you sent me of our two lovely children

Tell them both to forget me and I don't wish to see them again.



Black and white lies from left to right

Are in the letter I write tonight

What else is new except that you are married again

I hope you'll be happy with him.



I'm sending you my best wishes

Consider me your best friend

Black and white lies from left to right

Are in the letter I write tonight.



And I'm hoping she'll believe

What I write tonight

When she'll read this letter

Of lies in black and white...
