BIGGEST LIE
(John Schweers)

Ronnie Milsap - 1974


 
I told your best friend when she phoned that you were sleepin'
I told the postman you went out shoppin' for some things
But tonight when I tried to tell the mirror that I don't love you
That's the biggest lie I had to face all day

I told the girl who does your hair that we were movin'
I told the school, yes you'd attend the PTA
But tonight when I tried to tell the mirror that I don't love you
That's the biggest lie I had to face all day

Now I'm puttin' on the whole town by saying you're still around
Everyone but me thinks everything's okay
When I say I don't love you, I'm just tryin' to fool a fool
'Cause that's the biggest lie I had to face all day
Yes, that's the biggest lie I had to face all day
