[Chorus]
I don't believe you
Because I've been lied to

[Verse 1]
Girl, you know you've done me wrong, (I can see it in your face)
I can't take much more of this. (going to put you in your place)
Telling lies won't get you far
I learned that in my youth
I'm giving you just one more chance
And all I want from you is truth

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
Forget about your credit cards, (and all your fancy clothes)
Forget about my rings and things. (and the powder for your nose)
It wouldn't take that much from you
To keep me satisfied
But you won't see my face no more
If you don't stop telling lies

[Chorus x2]

[Verse 3]
I love you, girl, that much is true
The truth is staring back at you
But you always break my heart in two
Oh, why?
I know you think what's wrong is right
You seem so happy when we fight
So I won't be coming home tonight
No lie, no lie

[Bridge]
Ole! Ole!

[Verse 4]
Said all that there is to say, (you better make up your mind)
If you look into these lonely eyes. (the truth is what you'll find)
It wouldn't take that much from you
To keep you satisfied
But the next time that you do me wrong
I'll be kissing you goodbye

[Chorus x2]

[Outro]
Ahh

Best known as the drummer for The Beatles, Ringo Starr (born Richard Starkey, 1940) also had a moderately successful solo career (with hits like “It Don’t Come Easy” and “Photograph”) and was the narrator for Thomas The Tank Engine.

His country-infused nickname emerged from a tendency to wear rings on his fingers.
