Lover Lies

And when I woke up
I thought that she'd be gone
But she tied me to the bedpost
Threw my stuff out on the lawn

She said she knew of
A love that never dies
She discovered
How her lover lies

She stood there silent
With anger in her eyes
In the past she never guessed it
But she finally realized

She thought she knew me
It should come as no surprise
She discovered
How a lover lies

I ran around with Lucy Brown
A time or two
Not long ago
I did not know she knew

She made her acquaintance
Now her patience
Is finally through

She says I'm just like
All the other guys
And she thinks that it's no wonder
That divorce is on the rise

But there's one thing
I cannot compromise
When I discover
How my lover lies

Now night is falling
Thoughts running through my head
I shut my eyes sober
And waking them up dead

They'd have a suspect
She'd say she's justified
'Cause she discovered
How her lover lies

She thought of a crime
She'd wish they'd legalize
When she discovered
How her lover lies
