Don’t Tell Me Lies Lyrics
[Intro]
[fingerstyle acoustic guitar with percussive string slaps]
[Verse 1]
Don't tell me this is good for you
Don't you tell me that our love is true
'Cause I've seen trouble since I thought I knew
I'd do anything for love from you
Don't tell me that you have respect
All you show now is your disaffect
I've turned cartwheels across your hot coals
You're behind the curtain that controls
[Chorus]
[guitar continues rhythmic fingerstyle]
Don't tell me
Don't tell me lies
Don't tell me
Don't tell me lies you can't convince yourself
[Verse 2]
Take a minute just to show yourself
Can you be happy with me on a shelf
One more thing that you can just stop
One last sip from your loving cup
[Chorus]
Don't tell me
Don't tell me lies
Don't tell me
Don't tell me lies you can't convince yourself
[Verse 3]
Take a minute just to show yourself
Can you be happy with me on a shelf
One more thing that you can just stop
One last sip from your true loving cup
[Verse 4]
Don't tell me this is good for you
Don't you tell me that our love is true
'Cause I've seen trouble since I thought I knew
I'd do anything for love from you
[Chorus]
Don't tell me
Don't tell me lies
Don't tell me
Don't tell me lies you can't convince yourself
Don't tell me
Don't tell me lies
Don't tell me
Don't tell me lies you can't convince yourself
[Outro]
[guitar fades out with final percussive slap]
