She wakes up each morning, Smiles as if she’s at home

Stealing the sun off the rooftops From her Brooklyn apartment, alone.

Long way from the train tracks. Halfway out the door.

No, I don’t believe anything That you ever say anymore.

You’ve lied, so many times.

Now, honey, how ‘bout tonight?

Why won’t you lie, lie, lie, Why don’t you lie, lie, lie?

One more time. Why won’t you?

Remember those old nights? You’d stay out ’til four.

And I’d wait on your porch just to see you, When you came to sneak in the door.

What I wanted was too much. Damn this heart of mine.

You can’t share your soul to a woman With her head full of laughter and wine.

I’ve tried, so many times.

Now honey, how ‘bout tonight?

Why won’t you lie, lie, lie, Why can’t you lie, lie, lie?

Why won’t you lie, lie, lie

One more time

Now, why won’t you?

(Lie, lie, lie)

Why won’t you?

(Lie, lie, lie)

Why won’t you lie, lie?

One more time

One more time

Why won’t

Why won’t you?
