Sweet Lies

Oh God
Ooh, Lord
Another big wheel turning
I see big wheel coming, oh God

Now Jack is the mack and he comes around every Monday
Oh, Tuesday and Wednesday
Every day of the week
And even though I try to tell you that I love you
From the bottom of my heart
You had no place for me, it's all vanity now

You fell for one a them sweet lies (sweet lies)
The kind you doubt and don't wanna believe (sweet lies)
When the heart's not hearing what the brain is saying
And you're weak in the knees
Another sweet lie (sweet lies)
The kind you doubt and don't wanna believe (sweet lies)
When the heart's in doubt, you got to stay out

Now the wine and the roses
Stop coming around sometime ago
But you won't admit that, so, you pretend
I know it's hard to look your best
Wearing that same old shabby dress
So you stay at home waiting by the phone

You fell for one a them sweet lies
The kind you doubt and don't wanna believe now (sweet lies)
When the heart's not hearing what your brain is saying
And you're weak in the knees
Another sweet lie (sweet lie)
The kind you doubt and don't wanna believe now (sweet lies)
When the heart's in doubt, you should know to stay out

Now it gives me no pleasure to say
I told you so (I told you so)
It's been hard to keep it low
Knowing the things I know (knowing the things I know)
Maybe in another place and in another time
Under different circumstances
You will find happiness
So I suggest, don't take foolish chances, no

When you see big wheel turning
Another big wheel turning, baby

Now the wine and the roses
Stop coming around sometime ago
But you won't admit that, so, you pretend
It's hard to look your best
Wearing that same old shabby dress
So you stay at home, waiting by the phone

For one a them sweet lies (sweet lies)
The kind you doubt and don't wanna believe now (sweet lies)
When the heart's not hearing what the brain is saying
And you're weak in the knees
Another sweet lie (sweet lie)
The kind you doubt and don't wanna believe now (sweet lies)
When the heart's in doubt, know to stay out

Another sweet lie (sweet lie)
Sweet lie (sweet lie)
Now Jack's on the corner flirting with another
And your life is over now
(Sweet lies, sweet lies)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)

Maybe in another place (sweet lies)
And in another time
Under different circumstances (sweet lies)
You will find happiness
So I suggest, don't take foolish chances
Believing in sweet lies (sweet lies)
The ones you doubt, still you want to believe (sweet lies)
