Lie No Better
Here you come draggin' in
3 a.m. again
Grinnin' that silly grin
Smellin' just like sin
Holdin' up that alibi that's tissue paper thin
Diggin' down deeper and deeper
In that hole you're already in
If you can't lie no better
If you can't lie no better
If you can't lie no better than that
You might as well tell the truth
I know you been foolin' around
With some fool from way 'cross town
You're tearin' our good thing down
Makin' me act your clown
Lookin' for excuses that you know can't be found
And the more your lips keep movin', the more you keep losin' pounds
If you can't lie no better
If you can't lie no better
If you can't lie no better than that
You might as well tell the truth
You said you was gone with that girl from up the street
But I know better
She called here lookin' for you and she told me
Said you never met her
And you could be more discreet
With your love letters
And honey, I smell some other man
All over your cashmere sweater
If you can't lie no better
(If you can't lie no better)
If you can't lie no better
(If you can't lie no better)
If you can't lie no better
(If you can't lie no better)
If you can't lie not better than that
If you can't lie no better
(If you can't lie no better)
If you can't lie no better
(If you can't lie no better)
If you can't lie no better than that
You might as well tell the truth
That's right, uh-huh
I guess you're expecting to make up, go to bed
Get up tomorrow and everything be alright
Ah-ahn, no, no way baby
Get your business and get on outta here
That's something real I'm up
To see that you're leaving
Girl, don't wan' hear 'bout it
3 a.m. again
Grinnin' that silly grin
Smellin' just like sin
Holdin' up that alibi that's tissue paper thin
Diggin' down deeper and deeper
In that hole you're already in
If you can't lie no better
If you can't lie no better
If you can't lie no better than that
You might as well tell the truth
I know you been foolin' around
With some fool from way 'cross town
You're tearin' our good thing down
Makin' me act your clown
Lookin' for excuses that you know can't be found
And the more your lips keep movin', the more you keep losin' pounds
If you can't lie no better
If you can't lie no better
If you can't lie no better than that
You might as well tell the truth
You said you was gone with that girl from up the street
But I know better
She called here lookin' for you and she told me
Said you never met her
And you could be more discreet
With your love letters
And honey, I smell some other man
All over your cashmere sweater
If you can't lie no better
(If you can't lie no better)
If you can't lie no better
(If you can't lie no better)
If you can't lie no better
(If you can't lie no better)
If you can't lie not better than that
If you can't lie no better
(If you can't lie no better)
If you can't lie no better
(If you can't lie no better)
If you can't lie no better than that
You might as well tell the truth
That's right, uh-huh
I guess you're expecting to make up, go to bed
Get up tomorrow and everything be alright
Ah-ahn, no, no way baby
Get your business and get on outta here
That's something real I'm up
To see that you're leaving
Girl, don't wan' hear 'bout it
