| They stand before the altar
|
| They stand before themselves
|
| The richer or the poorer
|
| In sickness and in health
|
| Words are mostly meaningless
|
| The only truth that really is
|
| We’re all getting by
|
| Telling lies, telling lies
|
| Everyone we love
|
| Is telling lies, telling lies
|
| Maybe that’s why I
|
| Never felt like I
|
| Could look you in the eye
|
| Everyone lies,
|
| Telling lies.
|
| She feels the whole world on her shoulders
|
| As she talks about getting bad
|
| It gets better when you’re older
|
| And they believe the words she says
|
| Words are mostly meaningless
|
| The only truth that really is
|
| We don’t really mind
|
| Telling lies, telling lies
|
| 'Cause we’re all getting by
|
| Telling lies, telling lies
|
| Maybe that’s why I
|
| Never felt like I
|
| Could trust any friend of mine
|
| Everyone lies,
|
| Telling lies.
|
| She walks naked in the bedroom
|
| As I’m lying on my back
|
| And says «Baby, please be honest,
|
| Have I been getting fat?»
|
| But my words are mostly meaningless
|
| The only truth that really is;
|
| Everyone we love
|
| Is telling lies, telling lies
|
| Everyone we know
|
| Is telling lies, telling lies
|
| Maybe that is why
|
| I can justify
|
| The way I live my life
|
| 'Cause everyone lies,
|
| Telling lies. |
