Sweet Lies Lyrics


We tell sweet lies, fooling one another
We gain a fake upper hand
We get outsmarted when we rediscover
We underplayYou took me in, I never minded
You broke the rules, I saw through you thenWhat a surprise when we turn into lovers
The tables turn on us
All those sweet lies, tear away the coversAnd now we know not to underestimate
What hearts can do
You keep an eye on me
Ill keep an eye on youWe tell sweet lies, fooling one another
We gain a fake upper hand
We get outsmarted when we rediscover
We underplayYou took me in, I never minded
You broke the rules, I saw through you thenWhat a surprise when we turn into lovers
We never guessed it could be
All those sweet lies, tear away the covers
The tables turnWe tell sweet lies, fooling one another
We gain a fake upper hand

We get outsmarted when we rediscover
We underplayAll those sweet lies, tear away the covers

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Robert Allen Palmer (January 19, 1949 – September 26, 2003), born in Batley, Yorkshire, England, was a British singer. He was known for his soulful voice and the eclectic mix of musical styles on his albums, combining soul, jazz, rock, reggae, blues, and even yodeling.

His eighties hits were promoted by particularly striking award winning videos, featuring an all-female, black-clad backing band. The memorable videos, directed by Terence Donovan, featured heavily on MTV and played a large part in his transatlantic success.

His eighties success was kickstarted by his participation in supergroup The Power Station, along with Andy Taylor and John Taylor of Duran Duran and Tony Thompson of Chic.

Robert Palmer died on September 26, 2003 in Paris, France, while staying at the Warwick de berri Hotel. The cause of death was of a heart attack.
