I Always Lie To Strangers
John Mellencamp
[Intro] [Verse 1] I always lie to strangers I always lie to people I may know There’ll be no church bells chiming for me No contest is my only plea Call me anything you like I would never disagree I always lie to strangers [Verse 2] I’ve never taken the high road home The old low road seems to get me there fast High or low it’s all the same Living by your word is a sucker’s game And I’m used to taking all the blame Can’t bother taking that high road home And I always lie to strangers [Instrumental] [Verse 3] I always lie to strangers I am a man of low degree This world is run by men Much more crooked than me And as far as I can see I don’t trust you and you shouldn’t trust me I always lie to strangers Because I always lie to strangers
