Should have known you'd come around
did your conscience bother you?
well I guess I forgive you now
But that's all that I can do
Ain't nothing lonely as the truth

You should've lied to me baby
You should've tried just a little bit harder now baby
You see my pride has been talking to me lately
And you can't come back, you can never come back
I won't stand another woman
You should have lied

You overestimated me
Thinking I would understand
Believing that your honesty
Would make me see a bigger man
Was that all part of your plan?

You should've lied to me baby
You should've tried just a little bit harder now baby
You see my pride has been talking to me lately
And you can't come back, you can never come back
I won't stand another woman
You should have lied

(Instrumental Bridge)

You should've lied to me baby
You should have tried just a little bit harder now baby
You see my pride has been talking to me lately
And you can't come back, you can never come back
I won't stand another woman
You should have lied

You should've lied

You should've lied to me baby
You should have lied
