Lie To Me
Ne-Yo · Year Of The Gentleman [2008]
Lie to me, lie to me, lie to me, lie
I just wanna be NUMB
I don't wanna feel a thing
I don't want reality
Actually, reality stinks
How about we just pretend
That your cellphone didn't even ring
And that I wasn't on the other side of the door
Listening to everything, tell me another lie
I don't wanna know what I know to be true
What I need you to do, tell me another lie
I don't wanna know what I know to be true
What I need you to do, tell me another lie
I don't wanna know what I know to be true
What I need you to do, tell me another lie
I don't wanna know what I know to be true
What I need you to do, tell me another lie
Lie to me, lie to me, lie to me, lie to me
Lie to me, lie to me, lie to me, lie
Please make me believe (make me believe)
That there's nobody for you BUT me (for you BUT me)
When I ask who were you talking to
Tell me it was KIMBERLY
Tell me THAT last night you didn't leave
After you thought I was asleep
Krept back in that 6:45
Tell me it was just a dream
Baby I need (I need), desperately (desperately), desperately (desperately)
To believe you
'Cause I won't be held (won't be held), responsible (responsible)
For what what (what what), what I might do
Baby I need (I need), desperately (desperately), desperately (desperately)
To believe you
'Cause I won't be held (won't be held), responsible (responsible)
For what what, what I might to do me another lie
I don't wanna know what I know to be true (don't wanna know, don't wanna know)
What I need you to do, tell me another lie (another lie, yeah)
I don't wanna know what I know to be true
What I need you to do, tell me another lie (oh)
I don't wanna know what I know to be true (don't wanna know, no no)
What I need you to do, tell me another lie
I don't wanna know what I know to be true (hey, hey)
What I need you to do, tell me another lie
Tell me another lie
Tell me another lie
Tell me another lie
Tell me another lie
I don't wanna know what I know to be true
What I need you to do, tell me another lie
I don't wanna know what I know to be true
What I need you to do, tell me another lie
I don't wanna know what I know to be true
What I need you to do, tell me another lie
I don't wanna know what I know to be true
What I need you to do, tell me another lie
I don't wanna know what I know to be true,
What I need you to do, tell me another lie,
I don't wanna know what I know to be true,
What I need you to do, tell me another lie,
I don't wanna know what I know to be true,
What I need you to do, tell me another lie,
I don't wanna know what I know to be true,
What I need you to do, tell me another lie...
Tell me another lie
Tell me another lie
Tell me another lie
Tell me another lie
I don't wanna know what I know to be true,
What I need you to do, tell me another lie,
I don't wanna know what I know to be true,
What I need you to do, tell me another lie,
I don't wanna know what I know to be true,
What I need you to do, tell me another lie
