[Verse 1]

You tell me – you're trying

To help me – but you're lying

I give you – what you ask for

It still seems – that you want more

Decisions – always have to wait

Your timing – why is it always late?

My chances – fade before my eyes

I'm hounded – by a pack of lies


[Chorus]

You say you care enough to help me up – you're lying

You say your sacrificing never stops – you're lying

You say without you I am gonna flop – you're lying

When will your lying stop?


[Verse 2]

Used me – every way you could

You told me – it was for my own good

You tell me – "Don't feel downhearted"

I'm worse off – than when we started

You want me – at your beck and call

It's your way – or no way at all

You promise – doesn't mean a thing

My patience – has come to an end


[Chorus]

You say you care enough to help me up – you're lying

You say your sacrificing never stops – you're lying

You say without you I am gonna flop – you're lying

When will your lying stop?

Oh, oh, oh, whoa!

You say you care enough to help me up – you're lying

You say your sacrificing never stops – you're lying

You say without you I am gonna flop – you're lying

When will your lying stop?


[scat singing]


[Verse 3]

You're out of – excuses

To go on – would be useless

'Cause I don't – I don't believe your story

You're lying – but you'll be sorry


[Chorus]

You say you care enough to help me up – you're lying

You say your sacrificing never stops – you're lying

You say without you I am gonna flop – you're lying

When will your lying stop?


[Outro]

Can't tell the truth, can't tell the truth, no

You can't tell the truth, you can't tell the truth, no

You can't tell the truth, can't tell the truth, no

You can't tell the truth

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

You can't tell the truth, you can't tell the truth, no

You can't tell the truth, you can't tell the truth, no

You can't tell the truth, uh, you can't tell the truth no

You can't tell the truth

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
