TELL ME SOME LIES
© Pat Branch
Suppose I wanted you,
Suppose you needed me
You say that love would come in time.
And now it’s time to let,
My actions show you,
Got to know you,
But I can’t find the key to read your mind…

It’s alright (it’s alright),
If you want it that way,
It’s alright (it’s alright),
I’ve got no reason to stay overnight (overnight),
Tell me some lies.

We sit down for a talk,
You say you’d rather walk,
And tell me I’m the only one.
And yet I notice that,
Your eyes are moving,
They’re still proving,
Your love’s not real, it’s just you having fun.

It’s alright (it’s alright),
If you want it that way,
It’s alright (it’s alright),
I’ve got no reason to stay overnight (overnight),
Tell me some lies.

Attraction’s all we got,
To you that means a lot,
To me that means a hurt to mend.
I’ll have to spell it out.
It’s not a love song got it all wrong,
I can’t stay if we can’t be just friends.

It’s alright (it’s alright),
If you want it that way,
It’s alright (it’s alright),
I’ve got no reason to stay overnight (overnight),
Tell me some lies.
