I Told Her Lies

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I took my baby home one night after a picture show She said, "Rob, I'd like to take you in but first, I need to know "Is it my body that you want or the real girl inside?" So I looked deep into my heart and I told her lies [Chorus 1] Yeah I told her lies, I told her lies Big and little, long and tall, every shape and size And when she unlocked the door I knew I'd won the prize I couldn't tell her what I thought so I told her lies [Verse 1] Well, livin' on love would not do, she had to tie the knot We bought the rings and made the plans quicker than a rifle shot And when the justice said "Now, do you swear?" I gazed into her eyes And in a voice sincere with fingers crossed, I told her lies [Chorus 2] Yeah I told her lies, I told her lies Big and little, long and tall, every shape and size 'Til when I heard the word "forever," 'twas then I realized I couldn't tell her what I thought so I told her lies [Instrumental] (Next) [Verse 3] Now as the years went drifting by, temptation slowly grew I'd stalk a tramp from time-to-time, I even slept with two But no matter how I betrayed her, I made sure to keep it hid And every time she got suspicious, well, you know what I did [Chorus 3] I told her lies, I told her lies Well, I chased women long and tall, every shape and size She kept being faithful, I kept up my disguise I couldn't tell her what I'd done so I told her lies [Verse 4] Yeah, we lived on in perfect bliss and then one day I died And as my soul flew heavenward I looked below and spied A graveside filled with mourners and everyone in tears And when the preacher rose to speak, I could not believe my ears He said I'd been the kind of man all others aspire to be A loyal friend, a loving spouse; ha, that rat lied more than me So fellas, if you wanna stand tall in humanity's eyes Just pay no mind to the laws of God, keep tellin' those lies [Chorus 4] Yeah I told her lies, I told her lies Big and little, long and tall, every shape and size I shunned the good, I spat on the true, all virtue I despised I couldn't tell her what I thought, so I told her lies I told her lies
