Those Lies lyrics
by Boz Scaggs
[Verse 1]
First time I saw you, you had that look in your eye
Don't play me cheap, girl, 'cause you know I'm not shy
You always walkin' and you talkin' some stuff
I found out last night, well, I had enough
You're always tryin' to tell me some lie
Don't know why you're always trying to tell me a lie
[Verse 2]
I call you last night on the phone
I left a message after the tone
You sister told me you'd be back soon
I saw you next day, in the afternoon
You're always tryin' to tell me your lies
I don't know why you're always trying to tell me some lie
[Verse 3]
First day you told me your name was Elaine
Next day I found out it really was Jane
You wanna teach me water goes uphill
There ain't no greenback on a dollar bill
Always gonna to try to sell me lies
Don't know why you're always trying to tell a lie
[Bridge]
You got a lie on your lie
A trick on your trick
It's only in your own mind
That you get away slick
[Organ Solo]
[Verse 4]
We saw you standing at the scene of the crime
You tried to play it off, said you weren't there at the time
Whatever happens to come from your lips
I'm only saying that I won't trip
You're always gonna try to tell a lie
Don't know why you're always trying to tell some lie
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 5]
I call last night again on the phone
I left a message after the tone
You sister told me you had a bad cough
Your boss will hire you right back, you just got laid off
Always tryin' to tell me your lie
I don't know why you're always tryin' to sell me some lie
[Outro]
Don't know why you're always sayin' something you don't really mean
Something in between
It's always got to be your lies
Mmm mmm you and your lies
