| It ain’t complicated
|
| Well, I’ve grown to hate it
|
| I never liked the taste of crow, but baby, I ate it
|
| They tried to warn me
|
| They said that you were ornery
|
| So don’t bring me those big brown eyes and tell me that you’re sorry
|
| Well, you might as well throw gasoline on a fire
|
| The way you lie
|
| You lie like a priceless Persian rug on a rich man’s floor
|
| Well, you lie like a coon dog basking in the sunshine on my porch
|
| Well, you lie like a penny in the parking lot at the grocery store
|
| It just comes way too natural to you
|
| The way you lie
|
| That ain’t my perfume
|
| I bet she had a curfew
|
| You told me you were out with the boys and baby, I believed you
|
| So why you lookin' so nervous?
|
| You know you’re gonna deserve this
|
| I oughta kill you right now and do the whole wide world a service
|
| Well, my daddy’s gonna straighten you out like a piece of wire, like a piece of
|
| wire
|
| The way you lie
|
| You lie like the man with the slick back hair who sold me that Ford
|
| Well, you lie like the pine tree in the back yard after last month’s storm
|
| Well, you lie like a penny in the parking lot at the grocery store
|
| It just comes way too natural to you
|
| The way you lie
|
| Well, I’ll tell you what I’m gonna do
|
| I’m gonna drive to the big ol' muddy river
|
| I’m gonna park my car in the middle of the mile-long bridge
|
| And then I’m not gonna cry, well, maybe just a little
|
| Then I’m gonna slip off the ring that you put on my finger
|
| Give it a big ol' fling and watch it sink
|
| Down, down, down
|
| And there it’s gonna lie
|
| Until the Lord comes back around
|
| Because you lie like a priceless Persian rug on a rich man’s floor
|
| Well, you lie like a coon dog basking in the sunshine on my porch
|
| Well, you lie like a penny in the parking lot at the grocery store
|
| It just comes so dang natural to you
|
| The way you lie
|
| The way you lie
|
| Well, it’s what you do, it’s who you are |
