Lie a Little

Lynn Anderson · Flower of Love [Pickwick] [1973]

(Liz Anderson)



Lie a little before you break my heart

I know what's going through your mind

You planned to leave our love behind

You're wondering how to break the news to me

I hate to see you worry so I love you but I'll let you go

First you have to help me set you free.



(If you could) lie a little and tell me you still care

Try a little to ease the pain I bear

Say you love me once more before we part

Lie a little before you break my heart.



--- Instrumental ---



And now that I am losing you what harm can maybe even do

Before a little longer I pretend

If you had ever cared at all give me the chance to break the fall

Lie a little say it's not the end.



(If you could) lie a little and tell me you still care

Try a little to ease the pain I bear

Say you love me once more before we part

Lie a little before you break my heart...
