The very first rule That you learned in school Was that you shouldn't try to fool The people you're close to
And now you're finally full grown I really should've known If I left you on your own You wouldn't do like you're supposed to
{ Chorus } Why'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 him
And now you're acting real nice You're all sugar and spice You've already thrown the dice Your chances are real slim
Why'd you lie ? Why'd you lie ?
{ Bridge } You'd better make a correction To all this deception And start treating me right 'Cuz we had discussed it 'Til I was disgusted There's one thing that I have to say All about sleeping in another man's bed
Why'd you lie ? Why'd you lie ?
