You Should Have Lied

(Matraca Berg/Angelo)

Should've known you'd come around
Did your conscience bother you?
Well, I guess I forgive you now, but that's all that I can do
Ain't nothing lonely as the truth
Chorus: You should've lied to me baby

You should've tried just a little bit harder now baby
You see my pride has been talking to me lately
And you can't come back, you can never come back
I won't stand another woman
You should've lied
You overestimated me
Thinking I would understand
Believing that your honesty
Would make me see a bigger man
Was that all part of your plan

(Repeat Chorus twice)

You should've lied
You should've lied to my baby
You should have lied

(Repeat Chorus)
