You can try if you want to
It doesn't really matter to me
You can talk till you turn blue
Things are gonna be as they be

What you're really tryin' to say
That you'd lie to get your way
Better run and hide
Truth is on my side today

What do you think you're doing?
Steppin' on somebody's ground
What you bite, I hope you're chewin'
Though I don't mean to put you down

What you're really gonna do
Gonna ruin things for you
Well, it won't be long
Things start goin' wrong
And I told you

Why, oh why, do you keep tellin' lies?
Each one you tell, a part of you dies
I can tell by the look in your eyes
You don't hear me, you just keep tellin' lies

What do you think you're doing?
Steppin' on somebody's ground
What you bite, I hope you're chewin'
Though I don't mean to put you down

What you're really tryin' to say
That you'd lie to get your way
Better run and hide
Truth is on my side today

Why, oh why, do you keep tellin' lies?
Each one you tell, a part of you dies
I can tell by the look in your eyes
You don't hear me, you just keep tellin' lies

Keep tellin'
You tell lies
You keep on
Tellin' lies
Why, oh why
Do you
Tell lies
Don't tell lies
