No Lies - The Best Little Whorehouse In Texas/1978 Original Broadway Cast/Remastered

I'm real sorry for the troubles you've been havin', Miss Mona
Aw, June, honey
Don't you feel sorry for me! Naw!
Now, I started out poor
And I worked my way up to outcast
You just gotta learn not to expect nothin' out of life

Were you fixin' to say a little somethin'
'Bout how life don't seem too fair?
Don't even start
Don't even start
Were you lookin' to get a little disappointed
Teardrop goin' there?
Don't make me laugh
Please don't touch my heart
Who said life was a roller coaster?
Who said life was a sweet surprise?
Who said life was a surface coaster?
Not me
Not me
So ask me no questions, give me no answers
And I'll tell you no lies

Were you gettin' yourself a little moody
'Cause some folks are downright mean?
Oh me, oh my (Oh yeah)
Ain't that a shame (Shame)
Were you startin' to make a little speech
About the troubles that you've seen?
Please spare me that
Sighs and pity game (Yeah)
Now who's got a life that's a bowl of berries?
Who said life was peach ice cream?
Who said life was a box of cherries?
Not me
Not me
So ask me no questions, give me no answers
And I'll sell you no dreams

Were you thinkin' that you were gonna maybe have to
Leave this lovely town
Begin again?
Hit one more spot?
Were you feelin' a little like a baby who just
Got itself knocked down?
You say you were?
I say, Well, so what?
Who said life was a song worth singin'?
Who said life was such a snap?
Who says life was a bell for ringin'?
Not me
Not me
So ask me questions, give me no answers
And I'll hand you no crap

Who said life was a song for singin'?
Who said life was such a snap?
Who said life was a bell for ringin'?
Not me
Not me
So ask me questions, give me no answers
And I'll hand you no crap
And I'll sell you no dreams
And I'll tell you no lies
No lies
