(John Fowler)

Black and white lies from left to right
Are in the letter I write tonight
I stopped being lonely when you left
And I'm now at the top among the best.

I have money, throw big parties and have a lot of friends
I never lose, I just win
I'm sending back the picture that you sent me of our two lovely children
Tell them both to forget me and I don't wish to see them again.

Black and white lies from left to right
Are in the letter I write tonight
What else is new except that you are married again
I hope you'll be happy with him.

I'm sending you my best wishes
Consider me your best friend
Black and white lies from left to right
Are in the letter I write tonight.

And I'm hoping she'll believe
What I write tonight
When she'll read this letter
Of lies in black and white...
