Rick James
Tellin’ Me Lies
[Verse 1]
There's something 'bout the way
That you been acting, baby
I don't know what's wrong with you
Won't you tell me?
'Cause you been runnin' around all over town
Messin' with all the girls that I knew
When you know it ain't right

[Chorus]
You keep on tellin' me lies
(Don't you want my love)
And not doin' me right
Why you wanna do it?
Don't hide your face in the bushes
(Don't you want my love)
Bring it to the light
And we will remain friends

[Verse 2]
I went to the restaurant down the street
I saw you in somebody else's arms
You told me she was just your friend
And that you knew it was the end
If I found out
[Pre-Chorus]
Didn't have to tell me lies
Could have told me the truth
And I would not be upset

[Chorus]
You keep on tellin' me lies
(Don't you want my love)
And not doin' me right
Why you wanna do it?
Don't hide your face in the bushes
(Don't you want my love)
Bring it to the light
And we will remain friends

[Bridge]
You tell me, over and over
And over and over again
Keep tellin' me lies (there'll be no more lies)
You tell me, over and over
And over and over again
Keep tellin' me lies (there'll be no more lies)

[Verse 3]
I was always there every night
To stand by your side, you know I were
Could have came to me and told me
That you wanted to be with her
Didn't have to lie to me
[Chorus]
You keep on tellin' me lies
(Don't you want my love)
And not doin' me right
Why you wanna do it?
You keep on tellin' me lies
(Don't you want my love)
And not doin' me right
Why you wanna do it?

[Chorus/outro]
You keep on tellin' me lies
(There will be no more lies)
There will be no more lies
Keep on tellin' me lies
(Don't you want my love) (no more lies)
And not doin' me right
Why you wanna do it?
You keep on tellin' me lies
(Don't you want my love)
