You've got a way of makin' me blue 
And you've got a way of hurtin' me too
Oh, what a terrible tangled web we weave

You've got a gentleman on the side 
And you've got a friend that you're tryin' to hide
Oh, what a terrible tangled web we weave

We both got a way of goin' our way
Knowin' the cost gets greater each day
And I know you know we know we both deceive

We've got a way of livin' a lie
And life's got a way of makin' us cry
Oh, what a terrible tangled web we weave

(Instrumental Break)

Why do we have to settle for it 
How can we take too much more
It figures we both lack the nerve to leave

We've got a way of livin' a lie 
And life's got a way of makin' us cry
Oh, what a terrible tangled web we weave
Oh, what a terrible tangled web we weave

As recorded by KAY ADAMS & DICK CURLESS:


DICK: You've got a way of makin' me blue
KAY: And you've got a way of a-hurtin' me too
BOTH: Ooh, what a terrible tangled web we weave, don't we

DICK: You've got a gentleman on the side
KAY: And you've got a friend you're tryin' to hide
BOTH: Ooh, what a terrible tangled web we weave we, don't we

BOTH:
We both got a way of goin' our way
Knowin' the cost gets greater each day
DICK: I know  RAY: you know 
BOTH: We know we both deceive, don't we

DICK: We've got a way of livin' a lie
KAY: And life's got a way of a-makin' us cry
BOTH: Ooh, what a terrible tangled web we weave, don't we

(Instrumental Break)

BOTH:
Why do we have to settle for it
How can we take too much more
It figures we both lack the nerve to leave, don't we

DICK: We've got a way of livin' a lie
KAY: And life's got a way of makin' us cry
BOTH: 
Ooh, what a terrible tangled web we weave, don't we
Ooh, what a terrible tangled web we weave
