I told a little lie or two when I spoke to you on the phone the other night
What's a girl supposed to do when a bit of truth turns into a sweeter lie
I didn't wanna tell you, tell you
Didn't wanna tell you anything you didn't wanna hear
Look a little closer then the truth becomes clear

I told a little lie or three when you looked at me
And asked if I love you still
You don't wanna know what's real, how I really feel,
Never did and you never will. No, no, no.
I didn't wanna tell you, tell you
Didn't wanna tell you anything you didn't wanna hear
Look a little closer then the truth becomes clear

I told a little lie or four with you at my door
Wondering where the hell I've been
Didn't wanna tell you, tell you
Didn't wanna tell you anything you didn't wanna hear
I didn't wanna tell you, tell you
Didn't wanna tell you anything you didn't wanna hear
Look a little closer then the truth
Look a little closer then the truth
Look a little closer then the truth becomes clear
