Why'd You Lie?

The very first rule

That you learned in school

Was that you shouldn't try to fool

The people you're close toAnd now you're almost full grown

I really should've known

If I left you on your own

You wouldn't do like you're supposed toWhy'd you lie?Don't want to hear no alibis

Don't want to know the reasons why

You left me here to cry

While you were out there loving himAnd now you're acting real nice

You're all sugar and spice

You've already thrown the dice

Your chances are real slimWhy'd you lie?

Why'd you lie?You'd better make a correction

To all this deception and start treating me right

'Cause we had discussed it 'til I was disgusted

There's one thing that I have to say

All about sleeping in another man's bedWhy'd you lie?

Why'd you lie?The very first rule

That you learned in school

Was that you shouldn't try to fool

The people you're close toAnd now you're almost full grown

I really should've known

If I left you on your own

You wouldn't do like you're supposed toWhy'd you lie?

Why'd you lie?

Why'd you lie?
