 You must think that I'm a fool

 This twisted tenderness just leaves me cool

 You've got me in a mess you know it's true

 Out in the wilderness here without you

 Right outside it's a cruel world

 Something's happening, it's distracting

 You're just bad news girl

 Never let that feeling die

All you've got to do

Is tell a little lie

 Don't you know it's true

I will never let you down

Spread this message all around

That I hope and that I pray

You can turn my life around

 Take a look out there

 We're under house arrest and you don't care

 We could always be friends

 But you were careless right till the end

I feel guilty oh it's such a shame

 It's frustrating it's a sad thing

 And there's no one else to blame

 Never let that feeling die

All you've got to do

Is tell a little lie

 Don't you know it's true

I will never let you down

Spread this message all around

That I hope and that I pray

You won't take my love to town

Tell a little lie, tell a little lie

 That's all you have to do

Is tell a little lie

 Don't you know it's true

 Right outside

 It's a cruel world

 Something's happening it's distracting

 You're just bad news girl

 Never let that feeling die

All you've got to do

Is tell a little lie

 Don't you know it's true

I will never let you down

Spread this message all around

That I hope and that I pray

You won't take my love to town

Tell a little lie, tell a little lie

 That's all you have to do

Is tell a little lie

 Don't you know it's true
