[Verse 1]
People tried to tell me something
Oh, but I was hearing nothing
When they said you was just playing me
I didn't listen
I didn't want to
You couldn't find a blinder fool

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I'm here
Searching through the wreckage
Wondering why the message never got through
And I found I misplaced all of my faith
How could I put my faith in you?

[Chorus]
How many times?
How many lies?
How long you been sneaking?
How long you been creeping around?
How many lies?
How many times?
Were you here deceiving
While I was here believing in you?

[Verse 2]
I gotta put the blame on myself
Should've known with everyone else
Just knowing they knew you was just bad news
I shoulda walked out (I shoulda walked out)
I shoulda seen clear (I shoulda seen clear)
Glad your sad ass is outta here

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I've gone and thrown out all the records
All the ones that ever reminded me of you
I've gone and torn up all the pictures
'Cause there was not one shred of truth (No, oh)

[Chorus]
How many times? (Tell me, tell me)
How many lies? (How many lies?)
How long you been sneaking?
How long you been creeping around? (Come on and tell me)
How many lies? (Oh)
How many times?
Were you here deceiving
While I was here believing in you?

[Bridge]
There were so many times
There were so many lies
I don't know why I stayed
There were so many days
There were so many games
I should've thrown your sad ass out
But now the game is through
I'll never trust in you
I finally got wise
I opened up my eyes (Your game is over)

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I've gone and thrown out all the records
All the ones that ever reminded me of you
I've gone and torn up all the pictures (yeah, yeah)
'Cause there was not one shred of truth
No, no, no

[Chorus]
How many times? (How many times?)
How many lies?
How long you been sneaking? (oh)
How long you been creeping around? (Come on and tell me)
How many lies?
How many times?
Were you here deceiving
While I was here believing in you?
How many times? (Tell me)
How many lies?
How long you been sneaking? (How long you been sneaking?)
How long you been creeping around? (Come on and tell me)
How many lies?
How many times?
Were you here deceiving (Were you here deceiving)
While I was here believing in you?

[Outro]
Whoa, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Yeah, yeah, I opened up my eyes
Whoa, oh
Ohh
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Initially working as a burlesque troupe, entrepreneur and artist, Robin Antin, founded “The Pussycat Dolls” and turned them into one of the most prominent girl bands of the 2000s. Seven girls–Nicole Scherzinger, Melody Thornton, Ashley Roberts, Carmit Bachar, Jessica Sutta, Kaya Jones and Kimberly Wyatt–were signed in 2003 to Interscope Records. Their debut single “Sway” was released in 2004 to no success.

The group’s debut album PCD was released in 2005 to huge success, becoming top-five hits worldwide including in the UK Album Charts and the Billboard 200 and has sold nine million copies worldwide. It featured the group’s most popular songs such as “Don’t Cha”, “Stickwitu”, and “Beep”. “Don’t Cha” is one of the best-selling girl group songs of all time and “Stickwitu” earn the girls' a Grammy nomination for Best Pop Performance By a Duo or Group.

After the departure of Carmit Bachar, Doll Domination was released as their second and final album in 2008. It spawned hit singles such as “When I Grow Up” and “I Hate This Part”.
