People talking but it ain't the truth Lyin' ain't no substitute You ought to be ashamed of yourself Try to put the blame on somebody else Ain't no reason I know To stop you reaping what you sow You must know right from wrong Don't make out, you don't know what's going on. A man's gotta do it right And if we gotta fight all night That's alright. I got time. And fighting liars suits me just fine A man oughta tell it true According to his point of view And whatever you want to be Don't lie to me, don't lie to me People talking round and round Whisper rumours try to bring you down You can't make shit into gold And nothing's over 'til the story's told People talking all around the world Eating facts and throwing up words Turn around so I can see your face I don't care if you need your space Chorus.
A man's gotta be a man and you can see just what I am There ain't no room for mistakes Everybody knows the moves they ought to make A man's gotta tell the truth. And if it's good, he don't need proof And whoever you think you see Don't lie to me, don't lie to me.
People talkin' but they just don't know Ain't got no pride no more Want to be on TV so bad They give away all the honour they had Ain't no way I can see that people gonna listen to me But I know what I know And I'll see more than you'll ever show
A man's gotta play the game And save the worth of his name Cause waiting out there on the edge Is everything you need to make a fool of yourself And if you want to know the score It that's what you're waiting for Don't look at me, I won't tell You better get out and see yourself Don't lie to me, don't lie to me Don't lie to me You know I hate that shit baby Don't lie to me, don't lie to me Uh-huh honey, can't you see Don't lie to me, don't lie to me.
