Lyrics Tell Me A Lie - Bettye LaVette

Tell Me A Lie

Tell me that you love me, just so I can hear it
Say that you need me, make me believe it
Hold me close in your arms, said you’d never let go
Said that I’m your all in all, the only one that you want
Said you don’t fuck with nobody else, and I’m the only one
Said you’d never ever hurt me, and you put this on your son
Promised you’d never cheat and you would always be 1hunnid
Say you different from the rest baby
Tell me lies, tell me lies
Make it all sound good
Make me believe that fairy tales can happen in the hood, and when I get my
heart involved, decide to let my guards down
Show me that you’re just like them all I shouldn’t of trusted you around
Said you don’t wanna lose me, you just can’t afford
Said you’d do anything for me cause you felt I deserve it
Tell me you’d never treat me like the guys in my past, said that you could
guarauntee that we’re going to last
Said how I’m the only girl you ever felt this way about
Say you ain’t never had these feelings, find somebody else
Then tell me how much I’m good, and there’s no one like me out there
Tell me what I wanna hear
Tell me lies, tell me lies
Make it all sound good
Make me believe that fairy tales can happen in the hood, and when I get my
heart involved, decide to let my guards down
Show me that you’re just like them all I shouldn’t of trusted you around
