I Can Tell (When You're Telling Me Lies)

歌詞

I can tell when you're telling lies I can see it in your smiling eyes I can't help when you're telling lies I can see it in your lack of surprise I can see just where the truth doesn't lie Watching you cut through the bind that ties Once upon a time a story with a happy end But that's all in the past now, it's all around the bend You can't appease me now, those hopeless things you send And you can't please me now and we can't start again There's too much history, and no clean sheets When I get to hear his story, it puts my feet to sleep It's all romantic nothing about a heart in a rage Murdered by some cartoon villain who ripped out the last page I can tell when you're telling lies I can see it in your smiling eyes I can't help when you're telling lies I can see it in your lack of surprise I can see just where the truth doesn't lie Watching you cut through the bind that ties Happy ever after, a prince apparent and his bride All his disarming charm and her unfaithful side He's scouting for success and she's his girl guide The day the die was cast, it was the day I died And now your hips are up for grabs and now the chips are down I could be jetting with the set instead of with this clown You want it to be unabridged, all bridges should be burnt Sometimes you must recross them, that's something you never learnt I can tell when you're telling lies I can see it in your smiling eyes I can't help when you're telling lies I can see it in your lack of surprise I can see just where the truth doesn't lie Watching you cut through the bind that ties There are some tricks you can't pull I mean the wool that is Over my eyes That's what happens when lookng for love Becomes a game of I Spy I know you're combing someone's hair, or someone's soothing you A lie may well fool someone else but it tells the truth About you to you I can tell when you're telling lies I can see it in your smiling eyes I can't help when you're telling lies I can see it in your lack of surprise I can see just where the truth doesn't lie Watching you cut through the bind that ties
