Why Do People Lie

Why do people lie?

Lyin' only breaks their hearts

And tears their lives apart

Makin' 'em cry

Tell me why

Even if I try

Even if I lie to little babe

I know she'll never leave me

She'll stay by my side

Tell me why do the people say

"She ain't lovin' you anyway

So while you keep believin' it brother

She'll keep makin' her time

Right before your eyes."?

Tell me why they gotta lie

When I looked I had to look again

In my eyes a revelation

In her arms the fascination

Of a friend

When I looked I had to look again

In my eyes a revelation

In her arms the fascination

Of a friend

Now I let 'em know

When people say "I told you so."

I say, "Learnin' don't come easy, baby."

I've been makin' like a fool

Tell me why

Why is it true?

Why?

Tell me why do people lie?

Tell me why

Why do they lie?

Oh, why do they lie?

Tell me, tell me why

Why do people lie to me

Somebody here is lyin' to me

I just don't know whether to believe them

Whether to give them an account

To form a doubt, don't want to be counted out

Follow your heart, babe

Follow your heart, yeah

Follow your heart, right on

Follow your heart
