Where do you go after midnight,
when all the doors should be closed
Your alibis just don’t sound right,
I asked but nobody knows
Then you look me in the eyes,
and make it sound so very nice
With your true lies
Someone’s been sleepin’ in my bed,
this room don’t smell like you and me
Someone’s been sneakin’ out the window,
do you think I’m too blind too see
When you look me in the eyes,
and make it sound so very nice
With your true lies,
it was a clever disguise
But, girl I’m gettin’ wise,
to your true lies
Well, you been doin’ this so long now,
you’re thinkin’ it’s the truth
I guess it don’t seem so wrong if it,
ain’t bein’ done to you
Gotta lot to learn, baby,
you can’t keep it down
When the word gets in the wind,
then it’s bound to blow back around
Girl, can you give me a reason,
I bet you don’t know even know why
‘Cause I can’t figure out what you’re thinkin’,
or what is your tiyn’ to justify
When you look me in the eyes,
and make it sound so very nice
With your true lies,
it was a clever disguise
But, girl I’m gettin’ wise,
to your true lies
Yeah, you can laugh, you can cry,
but, girl, I just can’t buy,
your true, true lies
