I Was Only Telling a Lie

Lyrics

Got the one room suite in the downtown motel
 Got a lovely view
 Classic shot of the parking lot
 An off ramp of route 72
 Half flat six pack of lukewarm beer
 So lay down by my side
 Like to whisper sweet nothings in my filthy ear
 'Til I'm satisfied
 Baby-bootie, juicy-fruity, truck-stop cutie, roadside-beauty
 I'm in love with you
 Hope it don't last too long
 You got the mackerel eyes
 Brought the side of fries
 You got me hypnotized
 I'm in love again
 Now baby when I told you that
 I love you
 I was only telling a lie
 I'll be long gone come the crack of dawn
 And I believe the word is
 Good-bye, bye baby, bye, bye
 I was only telling a lie
 There ain't no need to act like I
 Shot your dog, no
 I was only telling a lie
 Lie, lie, lie, lie...
