[Intro: Usher]
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
(Why you lie to me?)
Oh whoa
(You was everything I needed)
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
(I can't go on not knowing the truth)
Sweet lies, girl (Listen)

[Verse 1: Usher]
My stomach aches and sweat in my palms
This is so sudden
(What I'm supposed to do?)
I thought that love calls between our hearts
We're truly touching
(Be careful what you ask for)

[Pre-Chorus: Usher]
One day I'll meet that special girl (Special girl)
Just for me (Just for me)
She'll have open ears (Open ears)
She won't ignore me
I'll bet I'll meet some special girl (Special girl)
She'll save the day (She'll save the day)
And she'll get it (Oh oh)
When I say girl
[Chorus: Usher]
I don't wanna go on
In this life
Wondering why (Baby, why)
Why (Baby, why)
I'd rather the bitter truth
When it comes to you (When it comes to you)
Than those sweet lies (Sweet lies)
Lies (Sweet lies)

[Verse 2: Usher]
Why oh why this song
Don't you love me
(I love you, put that on everything)
Well, maybe where I went wrong
Was calling you honey
(Shorty, shawty, don't matter)

[Pre-Chorus: Usher]
One day I'll meet that special girl (Special girl)
Just for me (Just for me)
She'll have open ears (Open ears)
She won't ignore me
I'll bet I'll meet some special girl (Special girl)
She'll save the day (She'll save the day)
And she'll get it (Oh oh)
When I say girl
[Chorus: Usher]
I don't wanna go on
In this life
Wondering why (Baby, why)
Why (Baby, why)
I'd rather the bitter truth
When it comes to you (When it comes to you)
Than those sweet lies (Sweet lies)
Lies (Sweet lies)

[Bridge: Usher, Usher & Vanessa Marquez]
(Whoa) What I'm supposed to do?
(Whoa) Sit around here all day thinking about this?
(Whoa, oh, oh, oh yeah) Man, please
(Whoa, oh) I'm lacing up my Bathing Apes and I'm out
I'm out tonight
You'll see

I bet it was sweet on your lips
When you told me (Let me show you)
Ayy, ayy (It hurt me)
My heart is just twisting slowly (I let you do it)
No one to hold me

[Pre-Chorus: Usher]
One day I'll meet that special girl (Special girl)
Just for me (Just for me)
She'll have open ears (Open ears)
She won't ignore me
I'll bet I'll meet some special girl (Special girl)
She'll save the day (She'll save the day)
And she'll get it (Oh oh)
When I say girl, oh
[Chorus: Usher]
I don't wanna go on
In this life
Wondering why (Baby, why)
Why (Baby, why)
I'd rather the bitter truth
When it comes to you (When it comes to you)
Than those sweet lies (Sweet lies)
Lies (Sweet lies)

[Outro: Usher, Vanessa Marquez]
I'm sorry I messed up on you, baby
Oh, I heard it a million times, baby
Don't you lie to me, baby
And I promise I won't lie to you again
Don't you lie, don't you lie to me, baby, yeah, yeah
