Lyrics

A Lie
-DeSanctis
1991
?let?s kick it
1- Waited for the other shoe to fall
But I haven?t heard it yet.
I thought that I had been through it all
I was blind; this is what you get
So you hold me, then you sold me
You haven?t got the final word.

Chorus:
Could have told me I?m the only one
Could have looked me in the eye
Could have told me almost anything
1-But everything you told me, baby, was a lie
2-[but all you really told me, baby, was a lie.. a lie]


2- Haven?t shed a single tear
Maybe down the road I will
In the arms of another man
Who won?t thrill in the kill
Cause you?d hold me, then you sold me
You haven?t got the final word.
(chorus)

Male rap:
In my defense it makes no sense to end a rhyme on the dotted line
I can lend you a hand help you understand
That this man has a plan and has been kicking some can
Was it so bad, this thing we had, but the past is the past and romance will last
I was in the groove only to improve [all] my life as it was and you know it?s because. I love you?


Last Chorus:
Could have told me I?m the only one
Could have looked me in the eye
Could have told me almost anything
But all you told me was a lie.
[You] Couldn?t tell me I?m the only one
Couldn?t look me in the eye
Couldn?t really tell me anything
But all you told me, baby, was a lie; it was a lie; baby? was a lie?.
