You're Lying!


You're Lying was written in 1977. 

This version was recorded in 1990 and spruced up a little in 2019. 

The video was inspired by Theresa May's Brexit performance. Or should I say, non-performance.

'Honey, I see the way the wind is blowing,
I can't help but wonder just where our love is going.'
We've been together a good long time,
I know your little ways and you know mine
And I can tell when you're holding something back,
You're way out somewhere on a different tack.

You want me to think it's all in my mind,
You're not the sly and cheating kind
And when you get home late, well, I'm not to worry
But you can't stop now 'cos you're in a hurry
Well, what kind of a fool do you take me for?
I don't believe you any more.

You're lying!
You're lying!
You're lying to me!

Out playing your games right round the clock,
You made my name a laughing stock.
I'm just the fool who pays the bills
While someone else provides the thrills.
Love had me blind to your wicked way
But I'm wiser now and now you're gonna pay!

You're lying!
You're lying!
You're lying to me!

Bitterness is all I feel.
I can't tell what's right but I know what's real.
No truth, no guidance from above,
Not one helping hand,
No love.
There'll be no justice here.
I'm gonna put that right
Tonight.

All good things come to their end,
Goodbye my fair weather friend.
Much better that we part this way
Thank let it go another day.
You may protest your innocence,
I'd like to believe you but I can't take the chance.

I know you're lying!
You're lying!
You're lying to me!

Oh, baby you're lying!
You're lying!
You're lying to me!

You're lying!
You're lying!
You're lying to me!'
