TELL ME A LIE
(Barbara Wyrick / Charles Buckins)


Connie Cato - 1974
Lynn Anderson - 1974
Janie Fricke - 1982


Tell me a lie, say I look familiar
Though I know you don't even know my name
Tell me a lie, say you just got into town
Even though I've seen you here before just hangin' around

Tell me a lie, say you're not a married man
'Cause you don't know I saw you slip off your wedding band
Hmmm, tell me a lie, say you got no place to stay
But you'll be glad to drop me off 'cause it's on your way

Tell me a lie when you take me home
(Tell me a lie)
I don't really want to spend the night alone
Tell me a lie
Don't worry about my sorrow
You'll be long gone tomorrow
And you won't have to see me cry
Just tell me a lie

Tell me a lie, come on and tell me that you need me
And I'll pretend that it's for real, the way you want me to
Please tell me a lie when you're lyin' close beside me
And whisper when you hold me sweet words like I love you

Won't you tell me a lie when our night is almost over
Make it easy on us both when it's time for you to go
Come on, tell me a lie, say you'd really love to stay
Come on, tell me just one more lie, that you'll be back one day

Tell me a lie when you take me home
(Tell me a lie)
I don't really want to spend the night alone
Tell me a lie
Don't worry about my sorrow
You'll be long gone tomorrow
And you won't have to see me cry
Tell me a lie when you take me home
(Tell me a lie)
I don't really want to spend the night alone
Tell me a lie........................FADE
