Lie No Better

Lyrics

Here you come draggin' in
 Three a.m. again
 Grinnin' that silly grin
 Smellin' just like sin
 Holdin' up that alibi that's tissue paper thin
 Diggin' down deeper and deeper
 In that hole you're already in
 If you can't lie no better
 If you can't lie no better
 If you can't lie no better than that
 You might as well tell the truth
 I know you been foolin' around
 With some fool from way 'cross town
 You're tearin' our good thing down
 Makin' me out your clown
 Lookin' for excuses that you know can't be found
 If you can't lie no better
 If you can't lie no better
 If you can't lie no better than that
 You might as well tell the truth
 And you could be more discreet
 With your love letters
 And honey, I smell some other man
 All over your Cashmere sweater
 If you can't lie no better
 If you can't lie no better
 If you can't lie no better
 If you can't lie no better than that
 If you can't lie no better
 If you can't lie no better
 If you can't lie no better than that
 You might as well tell the truth
