Beautiful Lies

Go ahead and bide your time

I've got a good idea what's going on

Brush your hair, rehearse your lines

Come and put your face on

Maybe you thought I was a step behind

Just a shoulder to cry on

Stop taking pity on this heart of mine

You make it up as you go along

I'm a man who's had it with these days

So go ahead and play me anyway

I can see who you've become

Stepping up in your cheap disguise

So many roads to choose from

They disappear before your eyes

I never wanted a quiet life

You shout at the top of your lungs

Those red lips and those beautiful lies

Cut through me like a knife

I'm a man who's had it with these days

So go ahead and play me anyway

You want to talk to her

To speak comforting words

She'll call you up in a short short skirt

But don't believe a word

I'm a man who's had it with these days

So go ahead and play me anyway

I'm a man who's had it with these days

So go ahead and play me anyway
