those lies

Singer:boz scaggs

first time i saw you

you had that look in your eye

don't play me cheap girl

cause you know i'm not shy

you always walkin' and you talkin' some stuff

i found out last night

well i had enough

you're always tryin' to tell me some lie

don't know why you're always trying to tell a lie

i call you last night

on the phone

i left a message

after the tone

you sister told me

you'd be back soon

i saw you next day

in the afternoon

you're always tryin' to tell me your lies

i don't know why you're always trying to tell me some lie

first day you told me

your name was elaine

next day i found out

it really was jane

you gonna teach me

water goes up hill

there ain't no greenback

on a dollar bill

always gonna to try to sell me lies

don't know why you're always trying to tell a lie

you got a lie on your lie

a trick on your trick

it's only in your own mind

that you get away slick

we saw you standing

at the scene of the crime

you tried to play it off

said you weren't there at the time

whatever happens

to come from your lips

i'm only saying

that i won't trip

you're always gonna try to tell a lie

don't know why you're always trying to tell some lie

i call last night again

on the phone

i left a message

after the tone

you sister told me

you had a bad cough

you're boss will hire you right back

you just got laid off

always trying to tell me your lie

i don't know why you're always trying to sell me some lie

don't know why you're always

sayin' something you don't really mean

something extreme

it's always got to be your lies
