Tell Me A Lie - Bettye LaVette

Tell me that you love me, just so I can hear it

Say that you need me, make me believe it

Hold me close in your arms, said you’d never let go

Said that I’m your all in all, the only one that you want

Said you don’t fuck with nobody else, and I’m the only one

Said you’d never ever hurt me, and you put this on your son

Promised you’d never cheat and you would always be 1hunnid

Say you different from the rest baby

Tell me lies, tell me lies

Make it all sound good

Make me believe that fairy tales can happen in the hood, and when I get my

heart involved, decide to let my guards down

Show me that you’re just like them all I shouldn’t of trusted you around

Said you don’t wanna lose me, you just can’t afford

Said you’d do anything for me cause you felt I deserve it

Tell me you’d never treat me like the guys in my past, said that you could

guarauntee that we’re going to last

Said how I’m the only girl you ever felt this way about

Say you ain’t never had these feelings, find somebody else

Then tell me how much I’m good, and there’s no one like me out there

Tell me what I wanna hear

Tell me lies, tell me lies

Make it all sound good

Make me believe that fairy tales can happen in the hood, and when I get my

heart involved, decide to let my guards down

Show me that you’re just like them all I shouldn’t of trusted you around
