You Lie
It ain't complicatedWell, I've grown to hate itI never liked the taste of crow but baby I ate itThey tried to warn meThey said that you were ornerySo don't bring me those big brown eyes and tell me that you're sorryWell you might as well throw gasoline on a fireThe way you lie
You lie like a priceless Persian rug on a rich man's floorWell, You lie like a coon dog basking in the sunshine on my porchWell, You lie like a penny in the parking lot at the grocery storeIt just comes way too natural to youThe way you lie
That ain't my perfumeI bet she had a curfewYou told me you were out with the boys and baby I believed youSo why you lookin' so nervousYou know you're gonna deserve thisI oughta kill you right now and do the whole wide world a serviceWell my daddy's gonna straighten you out like a piece of wire, like a piece of wireThe way you lie
You lie like the man with the slick back hair who sold me that FordWell, You lie like the pine tree in the back yard after last month's stoWell, You lie like a penny in the parking lot at the grocery storeIt just comes way too natural to youThe way you lie
Well, I'll tell you what I'm gonna doI'm gonna drive to the big ol' muddy riverI'm gonna park my car in the middle of the mile-long bridgeAnd I'm not gonna cry well maybe just a littleThen I'm gonna slip off the ring that you put on my fingerGive it a big ol' fling and watch it sinkDown, down, downAnd there it's gonna lieUntil the Lord comes back around
Because you lie like a priceless Persian rug on a rich man's floorWell, You lie like a coon dog basking in the sunshine on my porchWell, You lie like a penny in the parking lot at the grocery storeIt just comes so dang natural to youThe way you lieThe way you lieWell it's what you do, it's who you are
