why do boys lie

he looks right in

anything he's gone

he sees things you

only thought you knew

you count the days

since he held your hand

but you don't ask why

'cause it's understood

it happens everytime

you walk back in the line

and you lie there wondering

why do boys lie? when they want something bad

why do boys lie about love

and promise this time

why do boys lie? when they don't get their way

if they just tell the truth

i won't cry

so why do boys lie? why do boys lie?

i want to dance

'till the sun comes up

i'll drown his words

in a silver cup

he'll crash and burn

i'll never learn

i'd leave if i could

but it hurts so good

it happens all the time

you think you've crossed that line

and you give it one more try

why do boys lie? when they want something bad

why do boys lie about love

and promise this time

why do boys lie? when they don't get their way

if they just tell the truth

i won't cry

why do boys lie?

it's not fun

i could rescue you

i guess i thought

all your words were true

i guess i thought

that the sky was blue

i could fly. like arise

why do boys lie? when they want something bad

why do boys lie about love

and promise this time

why do boys lie? when they don't get their way

if they just tell the truth

i won't cry

if you just tell the truth

i won't cry

why do boys lie?

why do boys lie?
