[Intro: Craig David & Kianja]
Yeah, would I lie to you baby?
Yeah, would I?
No, no, no
Yeah, would I lie to you baby?
Yeah, would I lie?
Darling (Oh yeah)
Yeah, would I lie to you baby?
Yeah, would I lie to you girl?
Would I lie to you baby?
Yeah, would I lie to you, lie to you?

[Chorus: Dan Smith]
Look into my eyes, can't you see they're open wide?
Would I lie to you, baby? Would I lie to you? (Oh, yeah)
Look into my eyes, can't you see they're open wide?
Would I lie to you, baby, would I lie to you?

[Verse 1: Kianja, Dan Smith & Kianja]
Everybody wants to know the truth
In my arms is the only proof
I've hidden my heart behind the bedroom door
Now it's open, I can't do no more
I'm telling you baby you will never find another girl
In this heart of mine

[Chorus: Dan Smith]
Look into my eyes, can't you see they're open wide?
Would I lie to you, baby? Would I lie to you? (Oh, yeah)
Don't you know it's true, girl, there's no one else but you?
Would I lie to you, baby?
Would I lie?

[Verse 2: Dan Smith, Dan Smith & Kianja]
Everybody's got their history
On every page, a mystery
You can read my diary, you're in every line
A jealous mind, never satisfied (Oh, yeah)
But I'm telling you baby, you will never find another girl
In this heart of mine

[Chorus: Dan Smith & Kianja]
Look into my eyes, can't you see they're open wide?
Would I lie to you, baby? Would I lie to you? (Oh, yeah)
Don't you know it's true, girl, there's no one else but you?
Would I lie to you, baby, yeah? (Yeah)
Look into my eyes, can't you see they're open wide?
Would I lie to you, baby, would I lie to you? (Oh, yeah)
Don't you know it's true, girl, there's no one else but you?
Would I lie to you, baby, yeah? (Yeah)
Look into my eyes, can't you see they're open wide?
Would I lie to you, baby, would I lie to you? (Oh, yeah)
Don't you know it's true, girl, there's no one else but you?
Would I lie to you, baby, yeah? (Yeah)

[Verse 3: Dan Smith, Kianja]
Would I lie to you?
I wanna see you night and day
Would I lie?
Tell you about it if you'd stay
Would I lie to you baby?
Think I'll give my love away
Would I lie?
It's not the kind of game I play

[Bridge: Dan Smith & Kianja, Kianja]
I'm telling you baby you will never find another girl
In this heart of mine
Deep in my heart baby

[Verse 4: Dan Smith]
Look into my eyes, can't you see they're open wide?
Would I lie to you, baby? Would I lie to you? (Oh, yeah)
Don't you know it's true, girl, there's no one else but you?
Would I lie to you, baby? Would I lie?

[Outro: Craig David]
Would I lie? Would I lie? Would I lie?
Would I lie? Would I lie to you? (Oh, yeah)
Would I lie? Would I lie? Would I lie?
Would I lie? Would I lie to you?
Would I lie? Would I lie? Would I lie?
Would I lie? Would I lie to you?

Bastille is a British indie pop band. After releasing a limited single in 2010 and the Laura Palmer EP in 2011, the band was signed to Virgin Records. Following their signing, the band released two mix-tapes – Other People’s Heartache and Other People’s Heartache Pt. 2 — for free. In an interview with The Guardian, Dan Smith discussed the

Someone recently said to ‘The mixtapes were very clever, was that the label’s idea?’ Actually the label were completely against it; we were stealing and sampling illegally left, right and centre. The label ‘We want nothing to do with this.’ When it came to hosting the mixtapes, I had to register the website myself.

Preceding the release of their debut album, Bad Blood, the band released several singles — “Overjoyed”, “Bad Blood” and “Flaws”— to moderate commercial success. In February 2013, the band was catapulted into the charts by the album’s fourth single, “Pompeii”. The song was a commercial hit, going up to 5x Platinum around the world. In June 2014, “Pompeii” was confirmed to be the United Kingdom’s most streamed song ever. Unfortunately, it has since been overtaken.
