Shady Lies lyrics
by Iain Matthews
[Verse]
If you've handed me one
You've handed me a thousand lies
And if I needed someone
I've found someone to cut me down to size
[Pre-Chorus]
With every word you say
I'm learning every day
And you keep handing me these shady, shady lies
[Chorus]
Don't you want me to be
Someone you can lean on when you're down?
Don't you want me to be
Just waiting when you turn your head around?
[Post-Chorus]
I think I must be mad
I think that I've been had
Because you keep handing me thesе shady, shady lies
[Pre-Chorus]
And you're hiding your smile for thе last time
So don't mention my name when I'm gone
If you've handed me one
You've handed me a thousand shady lies
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Don't you want me to be
Someone you can lean on when you're down?
Don't you want me to be
Just waiting when you turn your head around?
[Post-Chorus]
I think I must be mad
I think that I've been had
Because you keep handing me these shady, shady lies
[Verse]
And you're hiding your smile for the last time
So don't mention my name when I'm gone
If you've handed me one
You've handed me a thousand shady lies
