baby don't you lie to me

Singer:fratellis, the

well little girl you can roll your eyes at the very sight of me

do everything in spite of me

but baby don't you lie to me

i'll take your mood swings

i'll dig a hole in your dishonesty

i will kneel down in your company

but baby don't you lie to me

i'll be your red-cheeked lover

and your man of regret

there'll be no desert too dry and no ocean too wet

i'll be your punchbag substitute

i'll sharpen your claws

when you come tumbling down you're still in my thoughts

well there's just one thing baby i could never abide

no matter how much you beg no matter how hard you try

you can tell me that i'll never be free

but baby don't you lie to me

well little sister i can handle the thought of you despising me

dancin' on my grave and baptising me

as long as baby you don't lie to me

i'll bend until you have broken my will

i'll be no enemy

you'll never hear so much as a complaint from me

as long as baby you don't lie to me

well you can take my house

don't take my pride

take all my valentines cards and tear them open wide

chase my friends

ruin my name

i won't ever fight back i'll be easy to blame

well there's just one thing baby i will always despise

not the crack of your whip or the hatred in your eyes

i got only one reasonable plea

baby don't you lie to me

burn my house

throw me out

pull me down

sell my clothes

i'll dig you out of a hole when your ignorance shows

i'll be anything you need me to be

baby don't you lie to me

every time your lips move baby

someone somewhere's bound to cry

i don't even think you're quite aware of how or why

life for you could be so easy

if you'd only shut your mouth

every time you feel those words come

runnin' out

ahhhhh

there's just one thing baby i could never abide

no matter how much you beg no matter how hard you try

you can tell me that i'll never be free

baby don't you lie to me

drag my name and reputation over the cold hard stones

break my heart up into pieces honey

shatter my bones

you can kill me with your repartee

baby don't you lie to me

well there's just one thing baby i will always despise

not the crack of your whip or the hatred in your eyes

i got only one reasonable plea

baby don't you lie to me

burn my house

throw me out

pull me down

sell my clothes

oh yeah!

i'll dig you out of a hole when your ignorance shows

i'll be anything you need me to be

baby don't you lie to me
