You're Telling Me Sweet Lies Again

(Jack Rhodes - Gertrude Cox)



I thought any fool could be fooled only once

That a burn child remembers the pain

Yet here I am listening with stars in my eyes

You're telling me sweet lies again.



They're tender and soothing like a kiss to my heart

I know that is healing in vain

The wound will be deepened, you'll say we must part

You're telling me sweet lies again.



--- Instrumental ---



Let some angel or ferry come rescue my heart

Wave the one to change my fate that's so plain

I'm lost in a trance or a spell

I can't break you're telling me sweet lies again.



They sound so familiar like a book read before

I know that the ending's the same

The magic is holding me spell bound

Once more you're telling me sweet lies again...
