Telling Lies
They stand before the altar
They stand before themselves
The richer or the poorer
In sickness and in health
Words are mostly meaningless
The only truth that really is
We're all getting by
Telling lies, telling lies
Everyone we love
Is telling lies, telling lies
Maybe that's why I
Never felt like I
Could look you in the eye
Everyone lies
Telling lies
She feels the whole world on her shoulders
As she talks about getting bad
It gets better when you're older
And they believe the words she says
Words are mostly meaningless
The only truth that really is
We don't really mind
Telling lies, telling lies
'Cause we're all getting by
Telling lies, telling lies
Maybe that's why I
Never felt like I
Could trust any friend of mine
Everyone lies
Telling lies
She walks naked in the bedroom
As I'm lying on my back
And says "Baby, please be honest
Have I been getting fat?"
But my words are mostly meaningless
The only truth that really is
Everyone we love
Is telling lies, telling lies
Everyone we know
Is telling lies, telling lies
Maybe that is why
I can justify
The way I live my life
'Cause everyone lies
Telling lies
They stand before themselves
The richer or the poorer
In sickness and in health
Words are mostly meaningless
The only truth that really is
We're all getting by
Telling lies, telling lies
Everyone we love
Is telling lies, telling lies
Maybe that's why I
Never felt like I
Could look you in the eye
Everyone lies
Telling lies
She feels the whole world on her shoulders
As she talks about getting bad
It gets better when you're older
And they believe the words she says
Words are mostly meaningless
The only truth that really is
We don't really mind
Telling lies, telling lies
'Cause we're all getting by
Telling lies, telling lies
Maybe that's why I
Never felt like I
Could trust any friend of mine
Everyone lies
Telling lies
She walks naked in the bedroom
As I'm lying on my back
And says "Baby, please be honest
Have I been getting fat?"
But my words are mostly meaningless
The only truth that really is
Everyone we love
Is telling lies, telling lies
Everyone we know
Is telling lies, telling lies
Maybe that is why
I can justify
The way I live my life
'Cause everyone lies
Telling lies
