Don't Tell Me Lies

About Don't Tell Me Lies

"Don't Tell Me Lies" is the title of the debut single by the British group Breathe. It was written by group members David Glasper (lead vocals) and Marcus Lillington (guitar, keyboard). The song was recorded in the mid-1980s, shortly after the formation of the original lineup of the group. Released as a single in the UK in early 1986, the song was a modest success, reaching #77 on the UK Singles Chart and providing the group with their first national exposure. By 1987, Breathe had secured an album deal, and the result of that was their debut, All That Jazz. Original pressings of the album did not contain "Don't Tell Me Lies", but the track was added on subsequent pressings soon after. Following the international success of other singles from the album ("Hands to Heaven", "How Can I Fall?"), "Don't Tell Me Lies" was re-issued as a single in the UK and released as the group's third single in the United States. The song made a bigger impact on the British pop chart this time round, peaking at #45 in March 1989. Following in the success of their previous singles in the US, the song became Breathe's third consecutive Top 10 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, where it peaked at #10; it was also embraced by Adult Contemporary radio, where the song reached #5. more »

Every move you made before was never meant for real
Over my naivety is this how I should feel?
Burning with my own desire, visions that all seem so clear
Now I see this in your eyes, they'll never ever be another one
Don't tell me lies
Don't tell me lies
Looking back I realize it's always been this way
We must note what has gone and never turn away
When desire takes hold of me, what I've seen just sets me free
Now I see this in your eyes, they'll never ever be another one
Don't tell me lies
Don't tell me lies
Don't tell me lies
Broken loose from indecision
Now I'm alright on my own
Still I wait from your confession
I guess I'm alright on my own
Don't tell me lies
Don't tell me lies
Don't, don't, don't tell me, 
Don't, don't, don't tell me
Don't tell me lies
