Telling Me Lies

They say a woman’s a fool for weeping A fool to break her own heart But I can’t hold the secret I’m keeping I’m breaking apart Can’t seem to mind my own business Whatever I try turns out wrong I seem like my own false witness And I can’t go on I cover my ears I close my eyes Still hear your voice and it’s telling me lies      Telling me lies You told me you needed my company And I believed in your flattering ways You told me you needed me forever Nearly gave you the rest of my days Should’ve seen you for what you are Should never have come back for more Should’ve locked up all my silver Brought the key back to your door I cover my ears I close my eyes Still hear your voice and it’s telling me lies       Telling me lies You don’t know what a chance is Until you have to seize one You don’t know what a man is Until you have to please one Don’t put your life in the hands of a man With a face for every season Don’t waste your time in the arms of a man Who’s no stranger to treason I cover my ears I close my eyes Still hear your voice and it’s telling me lies      Telling me lies I cover myears I close my eyes Still hear your voice and it’s telling me lies Telling me lies
