Because of Everything - Dinah Washington, Brook Benton, Dinah Washington, Brook Benton

I know I’m losing you, I feel it all the time

And I know if I lose you, then I’ll lose my mind

So lie to me, lie to me, make me believe everything you say

Just, lie, lie, lie, lie, I’d rather have it that way

Nobody told me you were cheating

Aw it’s just a feeling I had

So if I’m right, you got to lie to me

Then I won’t feel so bad

Because the truth would only hurt me

And that price is too big to pay

So lie to me, lie to me, I’d rather have it that way

Now you may think I’m foolish for saying what I said

But the truth could mean I’d lose you

So tell me a little lie instead
