Lie To Me
The Pretenders · Lie To Me (Soundtrack) [2009]
Nothing you've said
Why don't you tell someone
Who'll believe you instead?
'Cause I got this feeling
Is it what they call deja vu?
I'm nodding my head, yeah
I don't believe you
If you lie to me again
If you lie to me again
If you lie to me again
If you lie to me again
If you lie to me again
If you lie to me again, oh
I don't even care
So, there's nothing to defend
It's so long winded
Like a story without an end
This elaborate yarn
You left behind like a breadcrumb trail
It's too hard to find
The way out of your fairytale
If you lie to me again
If you lie to me again
And you say that you're my friend
And you take me to your bed
As somebody else instead
And I wonder where you've been
And the other one began
If you lie to me again, oh
Oh, don't take me there
Please, I do thee implore
Spare me the details
The entrails and the gore
I can see there's a point
You want to drag me in
To impress me and depress me
With your web of sin
If you lie to me again
If you lie to me again
If you lie to me again
If you lie to me again
If you lie to me again
If you lie to me again
If you
