Why Do People Lie

Why do people lie?
Lyin' only breaks their hearts
And tears their lives apart
Makin' 'em cry, tell me why

Even if I try, even if I lie, lie, lie to little babe
Oh, I know she'll never leave me, she'll stay by my side

Tell me why do the people say
She ain't lovin' you anyway
So why you keep believin' it brother
She'll keep makin' her time wight before your eyes
Tell me why they gotta lie

Tell me why do people lie?
Why do people lie?

When I looked I had to look again
In my eyes a revelation
In her arms the fascination
Of a friend

When I looked I had to look again
In my eyes a revelation
In her arms the fascination
Of a friend

Now I let 'em know
People say, "I told you so"
I say, "Learnin' don't come easy, baby
I've been makin' like a, like a fool"

Tell me why, why is it true?
Why? Tell me why do people lie?

Why do people lie?
Tell me why do people lie?

Why do people lie?
Tell me why do people lie?

Why do people lie?
Tell me why do people lie?
