SWEET LIES
|
Another big wheel turning,
Another big wheel coming,
Now Jack is the mack and he comes around every Monday,
All Tuesday and Wednesday,
Every day of the week.
And even though I try to tell you that I love you,
From the bottom of my heart.
You had no place for me, it was all vanity now.
You fell for one a them sweet lies,
The kind you doubt still you want to believe.
When the heart's not hearing,
What the brain is saying,
And you're weak in the knees.
Another sweet lie,
The kind you doubt still you want to believe,
When the heart's in doubt you got to stay out.
Now the wine and the roses,
Stop coming around sometime ago.
But you won't admit that so, you pretend.
I know it's hard to look your best,
Wearing that same old shabby dress,
So you stay at home, waiting by the phone.
For another dem sweet lies,
The kind you doubt still you want to believe.
When the heart's not hearing,
What the brain is saying,
And you're weak in the knees.
Another sweet lie,
The kind you doubt still you want to believe now,
When the heart's in doubt you should know to stay out.
Now it gives me no pleasure to say,
I told you so, it's been hard to keep it low,
Knowing the things I know.
Maybe in another place and in another time,
Under different circumstances,
You will find happiness so I suggest,
Don't take foolish chances no.

Another sweet lie, sweet lie.
Now Jack's on the corner,
flirting with another,
and your life is over.
Maybe in another place and in another time,
Under different circumstances,
You will find happiness,
So I suggest, don't take foolish chances.
Believing in sweet lies,
the one you doubt but still you want to believe ...
