Lie No Better Lyrics

Here you come draggin' in
Three a.m. again
Grinnin' that silly grin
Smellin' just like sinHoldin' up that alibi that's tissue paper thin
Diggin' down deeper and deeper
In that hole you're already inIf you can't lie no better
If you can't lie no better
If you can't lie no better than that
You might as well tell the truthI know you been foolin' around
With some fool from way 'cross town
You're tearin' our good thing down
Makin' me out your clown
Lookin' for excuses that you know can't be foundIf you can't lie no better
If you can't lie no better
If you can't lie no better than that
You might as well tell the truthYou say you was gone with that girl from up the street
But I know better
She called here lookin' for you and she told me

Said you never met herAnd you could be more discreet
With your love letters
And honey, I smell some other man
All over your cashmere sweaterIf you can't lie no better
If you can't lie no better
If you can't lie no better
If you can't lie not better than thatIf you can't lie no better
If you can't lie no better
If you can't lie no better than that
You might as well tell the truth
