Some lie about who they love

Some lie about the truth

Some lie to save their lives

Some lie about their youth



Some lie about age and beauty

The conquest of sex

Most lie about the night before

A woman lies for a prty dress



I've lied for a stolen moment

I've lied for one more clue

I've lied about most everything

But I never lied to you



And we lie, lie, lie

On a streetcar camed desire

Oh we lie, lie, lie

For that sweet bird of youth

I could be great like Tenesse Williams

If I could only hear something

That sounds like the truth



Some lie in the face of death

Some lie about their fame

Somee kneel and lie to God

Some lie about their name



Some lie in words and speeches

With every living breath

The young lie with their guitars

The old lie for a little respect



I've lied to lie with dabger

I've lied for a drug or two

I've lied about most everything

But I've never lied to you



And we lie, lie, lie

On a streetcar camed desire

Oh we lie, lie, lie

For that sweet bird of youth

I could be great like Tenesse Williams

If I could only hear something

That sounds like the truth



I've lied for one more clue

I've lied about most everything

But I never lied to you
