[Verse 1]
You lie, you cheat, you take it all
I cross my heart, I watch you fall
When they cut you down, you'll see
You've made too many enemies

[Refrain]
You lie, you cheat, you take it all
I cross my heart, I watch you fall
When they cut you down, you'll see
You gotta lift yourself, lift your soul, baby, then you're free

[Verse 2]
There ain't nothing I can do
You've got your parents' attitude
There ain't nothing more to say
I'm gonna cut you deep and make it quick

[Refrain]
You lie, you cheat, you take it all
I cross my heart, I watch you fall
When they cut you down, you'll see
You gotta lift yourself, lift your soul, baby, then you're free

[Outro]
Ain't no better way
Ain't no better way
Ain't no better way
Ain't no better way
