You must think that I'm a fool
This twisted tenderness just leaves me cool
You've got me in a mess, you know it's true
Out in the wilderness here without you
Right outside, it's a cruel world
Something's happenin', it's distractin'
You're just bad news girl
Never let that feeling die
All you've got to do
Is tell a little lie
(Tell a little lie)
(Tell a little lie)
Don't you know it's true?
I will never let you down
Spread this message all around
That I hope and that I pray
You can turn my life around
Take a look out there
We're under house arrest and you don't care
We could always be friends
But you were careless right till the end
I feel guilty, oh it's such a shame
It's frustratin', it's a sad thin'
And there's no one else to blame
Never let that feeling die
All you've got to do
Is tell a little lie
(Tell a little lie)
(Tell a little lie)
Don't you know it's true?
I won't ever let you down
Spread this message all around
That I hope and that I pray
You won't take my love to town
Tell a little lie, tell a little lie
That's all you have to do
Is tell a little lie
(Tell a little lie)
(Tell a little lie)
Don't you know it's true?
Right outside it's a cruel world
Something's happenin', it's distractin'
You're just bad news girl
Never let that feeling die
All you've got to do
Is tell a little lie
(Tell a little lie)
(Tell a little lie)
Don't you know it's true?
I won't ever let you down
Spread this message all around
That I hope and that I pray
You won't take my love to town
Tell a little lie, tell a little lie
That's all you have to do
Is tell a little lie
(Tell a little lie)
(Tell a little lie)
Don't you know it's true?
Don't you know it's true?
(Don't you know it's true?)
Hey don't you know it's true?
(Don't you know it's true?)
Don't you know it's true?
(Don't you know it's true?)
Hey don't you know it's true?
(Don't you know it's true?)
Don't you know it's true?
Don't you know it's true?
Don't you know it's true?
Don't you know that it's true?
