I told a little lie or two when I spoke to you on the phone the other night.
What's a girl supposed to do when the bitter truth turns into a sweeter lie.


I didn't want to tell you, tell you. Didn't want to tell you anything you didn't want to hear.
Look a little closer then the truth becomes clear.


I told a little lie or three when you looked at me and asked if I love you still.
You don't want to know what's real, how I really feel, never did and you never will. No, no, no.


I didn't want to tell you, tell you. Didn't want to tell you anything you didn't want to hear.
Look a little closer then the truth becomes clear.


I told a little lie or four, with you at my door, wondering where the hell I've been.

I didn't want to tell you, tell you. Didn't want to tell you anything you didn't want to hear.

I didn't want to tell you, tell you. Didn't want to tell you anything you didn't want to hear.
Look a little closer then the truth.
Look a little closer then the truth.

Look a little closer then the truth becomes clear.
