Lies Don't Lie - previously unreleased

Lyrics

Be careful what you say, don't meddle with your friends
 One loose conversation just might put you in the end
 Your smooth reputation just goes falling by the way
 Stranded in some parking lot with no face left to save
 Lies, don't lie, baby, don't tell lies
 It's a little play on words, so don't misunderstand
 That someone you once knew so well, has turned the other hand
 Secrets told in haste are just written on the wall
 Burning 'cross the mountain tops, it's hard to learn to fall
 Lies, don't lie, baby, don't tell lies
 It ain't nobody's business what you're thinking to yourself
 Keeping your mind on your own time, ain't got no line on nobody else
 If it ain't what you said, then someone misconstrued
 They must have missed your meaning by the way it looks on you
 I never meant to hurt my friends, and every time I did
 Words I chose to speak my heart just ran away and hid
 Lies, don't lie, baby, don't tell lies
 Bye-bye
 ♪
 It ain't nobody's business what you're thinking to yourself
 Keeping your mind on your own time, ain't got no line on nobody else
 Be careful what you say if it ain't something good
 If it ain't what you wanna hear around the neighborhood
 You better keep your hat pulled down, low around your ears
 Don't listen to the idle words that you once spoke so clear
 Lies, don't lie, baby, don't tell lies
 Yeah, I'd save the lies, baby, lies, don't lie
