Lies Don't Lie - previously unreleased

Be careful what you say, don't meddle with your friends
One loose conversation just might put you in the end
Your smooth reputation just goes falling by the way
Stranded in some parking lot with no face left to save

Lies, don't lie, baby, don't tell lies

It's a little play on words, so don't misunderstand
That someone you once knew so well, has turned the other hand
Secrets told in haste are just written on the wall
Burning 'cross the mountain tops, it's hard to learn to fall

Lies, don't lie, baby, don't tell lies

It ain't nobody's business what you're thinking to yourself
Keeping your mind on your own time, ain't got no line on nobody else

If it ain't what you said, then someone misconstrued
They must have missed your meaning by the way it looks on you
I never meant to hurt my friends, and every time I did
Words I chose to speak my heart just ran away and hid

Lies, don't lie, baby, don't tell lies
Bye-bye

It ain't nobody's business what you're thinking to yourself
Keeping your mind on your own time, ain't got no line on nobody else

Be careful what you say if it ain't something good
If it ain't what you wanna hear around the neighborhood
You better keep your hat pulled down, low around your ears
Don't listen to the idle words that you once spoke so clear

Lies, don't lie, baby, don't tell lies
Yeah, I'd save the lies, baby, lies, don't lie
