Tell Me a Lie

Lynn Anderson · What a Man My Man Is [Columbia] [1974]

(Barbara Wyrick - Charles Buckins)



Tell me a lie say I look familiar though

I know that you don't even know my name

Tell me a lie say you just got into town

Even though I've seen you here before just hangin' round.



Tell me a lie say you're not a married man

Even though I saw you slip off your weddin' band

Tell me a lie say you got no place to stay

You'll be glad to drop me off cause it's on your way.



Tell me a lie when you take me home

(Tell me a lie) I don't really wanna spend the night alone

Tell me a lie don't worry about my sorrow you'll be long gone tomorrow

Then you won't not to see me cry tell me a lie.



Tell me a lie tell me that you need me

And I could tell me it's not real the way you want me to

C'mon tell me a lie when you're lyin' close beside me

And whisper when you hold me sweet words like I love you.



Mhm tell me a lie when the night is almost over

Make it easy on us both when it's time for you to go

Tell me a lie say you really like to stay

Tell me please just one more time that you'll be back someday.



Tell me a lie when you take me home

(Tell me a lie) I don't really wanna spend the night alone

Tell me a lie don't worry about my sorrow you'll be long gone tomorrow

Then you won't not to see me cry tell me a lie.



Tell me a lie when you take me home

(Tell me a lie) I don't really wanna spend the night alone

Tell me a lie don't worry about my sorrow you'll be long gone tomorrow

Then you won't not to see me cry tell me a lie...
