Some lie about who they love
Some lie about the truth
Some lie to save their lives

Some lie about their youth

Some lie about age and beauty

The conquest of sex
Most lie about the night before
A woman lies for a party dress


I've lied for a stolen moment
I've lied for one more clue

I've lied about most everything
But I never lied to you


And we lie, lie, lie on a streetcar named desire
Oh we lie, lie, lie for that sweet bird of youth
I could be great like Tennessee Williams

If I could only hear something that sounds like the truth

Some lie in the face of death

Some lie about their fame
Some kneel and lie to God
Some lie about their name


Some lie in words and speeches
With every living breath

The young lie with their guitars
The old lie for a little respect


I've lied to lie with danger
I've lied for a drug or two
I've lied about most everything

But I never lied to you

I've lied for a stolen moment

I've lied for one more clue
I've lied about most everything
But I never lied to you.
