I Will Not Lie for You

I will not lie
 I will not lie
 I will not lie
 I will not lie for you
 Every time I see you fooling around on him
 I can't help but remember that he calls me his friend
 It's only right for me to tell you
 When it's the wrong thing to do
 It's only right that you should know
 If he comes to me
 I will not lie for you
 No, I won't lie for you
 It's hard enough to see him stumbling blind
 I refuse to see him lose you and me at the same time
 It's only right for me to tell you
 When it's the wrong thing to do
 It's only right that you should know
 If he comes to me
 I will not lie for you
 No, won't lie for you
 To come here as your friend
 And have you come on like my lover
 Like to bring things to an end
 Between myself and my brother
 If it was any other man I would not interfere
 But if you come onto me again
 I don't see how to stand clear
 It's only right for me to tell you
 When it's the wrong thing to do
 It's only right that you should know
 If he asks me
 I will not lie for you
 Mama, I won't lie for you

 If it was any other man I would not interfere, no
 When you come onto me again
 I don't see how to stand clear
 It's only right for me to tell you
 When it's the wrong thing to do
 It's only right that you should know
 If he asks me
 I will not lie
 I will not lie
 I will not lie
 I will not lie for you
 No, I won't lie for you
 Little girl, I won't lie for you
 No, I won't lie to him for you
 I will not lie for you
