John Wesley Harding - I Can Tell (When You're Telling Lies) Lyrics
I can tell when youre telling liesI can see it in your smiling eyesI cant help when youre telling liesI can see it in your lack of surpriseI can see just where the truth doesnt lieWatching you cut through the bind that tiesOnce upon a time a story with a happy endBut thats all in the past now, its all around the bendYou cant appease me now, those hopeless things you sendAnd you cant please me now and we cant start againTheres too much history, and no clean sheetsWhen I get to hear his story, it puts my feet to sleepIts all romantic nothing about a heart in a rageMurdered by some cartoon villain who ripped out the last page(chorus)Happy ever after, a prince apparent and his brideAll his disarming charm and her unfaithful sideHes scouting for success and shes his girl guideThe day the die was cast, it was the day I diedAnd now your hips are up for grabs and now the chips are downI could be jetting with the set instead of with this clownYou want it to be unabridged, all bridges should be burntSometimes you must recross them, thats something you never learnt(chorus)There are some tricks you cant pullI mean the wool that isOver my eyesThats what happens when lookng for loveBecomes a game of I spyI know youre combing someones hair, or someones soothing youA lie may well fool someone else but it tells the truthAbout you to you(chorus)
