Tell me a lie say I look familiar though I know that you don't even know my name
Tell me a lie say you just got into town
Even though I've seen you here before just hangin' round
Tell me a lie say you're not a married man

Even though I saw you slip off your weddin' band
Tell me a lie say you got no place to stay
You'll be glad to drop me off cause it's on your way
Tell me a lie when you take me home

(Tell me a lie) I don't really want to spend the night alone
Tell me a lie don't worry about my sorrow you'll be long gone tomorrow
Then you won't not to see me cry tell me a lie
Tell me a lie tell me that you need me

And I could tell me it's not real the way you want me to
See'mon tell me a lie when you're lyin' close beside me
And whisper when you hold me sweet words like I love you
Mhm tell me a lie when the night is almost over

Make it easy on us both when it's time for you to go
Tell me a lie say you really like to stay
Tell me please just one more time that you'll be back someday
Tell me a lie when you take me home...
Tell me a lie when you take me home...
