[Chorus: En Vogue]
Lies, lies, using lies as alibis
Lies, lies, just a devil in disguise

[Verse 1: Dawn Robinson]
It's the same game
Played in many ways
Everyone is the victim too
It's just a waste of time
Made for simple minds
So why do people insist on lies?

[Pre-Chorus: Cindy Herron]
I'll live my life a different way
Refuse to let myself become a victim
Getting caught up in a vicious web of lies

[Chorus: En Vogue, Dawn Robinson]
Lies (They can hurt you), lies (And destroy you)
Using lies as alibis (Watch out for lies)
Lies, lies (Lies), just a devil in disguise
(Just a devil in disguise)

[Verse 2: Dawn Robinson]
The nation's leaders as well as teachers
Practice lies as a way of life, yes they do
So think before you speak
'Cause what you sow you reap
The truth will always be brought to light
[Pre-Chorus: Cindy Herron]
Will we ever learn one day
That telling lies will always lead to madness
Misery and sometimes pain

[Chorus: En Vogue, Cindy Herron]
Lies, lies, using lies as alibis (Using lies as alibis)
Lies, lies (Oh lies), just a devil in disguise (And it's made for simple minds)
Lies (Yeah), lies (Lies), using lies as alibis (Made for simple minds)
Lies, lies (You've got to think about it), just a devil in disguise
(Those lies)

[Verse 3: Debbie T]
Lies and deceit, yes, it's running real rampant
Communities suffering, yo, I can't stand it
When we think of lies, we tend to think of politicians
But what about the husband who's on a mission?
Lying to his wife so he can get it on and get some
Coming back home with a dumb expression
Written on a face that's guilty as a criminal
It's time to change your attitude
People, do you hear me though?
Listen, to a funky rhyme that's kickin' knowledge that we need
We lie about our hair and we know we got a weave
Politicians lie about the things they're gonna do
And every lie the tell affects me and you
A smoker lies about the money that he stole
And a dope dealer never tells you how he got his gold
I guess what Debbie T. is really tryna say
When you break it all down, we're really all the same
[Pre-Chorus: Cindy Herron]
I'll live my life a different way
Refuse to let myself become a victim
Caught up in a vicious web of lies, oh

[Chorus: En Vogue, Maxine Jones, Terry Ellis]
Lies, lies (Oh), using lies as alibis (Using lies)
Lies (You're lying), lies (Stop cheating), just a devil in disguise (Lie, lie, lie, lies)
Lies, lies (Oh-oh), using lies as alibis (Oh yeah, they'll ruin your life)
Lies (You better think twice), lies, just a devil in disguise
(Stop hurting, deceiving, and telling your lies and, oh-oh-oh, ooh)
Lies, lies, using lies as alibis
Lies, lies, just a devil in disguise
(Just a devil in disguise)
Lies (Oh lies), lies (Evil little lies), using lies as alibis
Lies, lies, just a devil in disguise
