lie a little

it gets cold here in my apartment

in the heat of july

turn up the radio as far as it can go

keeps me from wondering why

wondering why

i need a fast car cause my emotions are

tight as a rubber band

maybe it's what i get for taking whats given

i've been living with the ghost of a man

ghost of a man

i ain't asking for much

i ain't asking you to swear on your mama's grave

so won't you lie a little when you're kissing me boy

lie

no it ain't gonna kill you

just you meet me in the middle

truth is just a riddle

so won't you lie a little

baby i know just what you're thinking there

you wear it on your sleeve

and i've tried everything from praying to drinking right in front of you

but you won't see

no

you won't see

i ain't asking for much

i ain't asking you to swear on your mama's grave

so won't you lie a little when you're kissing me boy

lie

no it ain't gonna kill you

just you meet me in the middle

truth is just a riddle

so won't you lie a little

lie a little more

yeah yeah

i ain't asking you to keep all your promises

cross your heart and hope to die

so lie a little when you're kissing me boy

lie

no it ain't gonna kill you

just you meet me in the middle

truth is just a riddle

it gets cold here

in my apartment

in the heat of july
