Some lie about who they love
Some lie about the truth
Some lie to save their lives
Some lie about their youth

Some lie about age and beauty
The conquest of sex
Most lie about the night before
A woman lies for a party dress

Ive lied for a stolen moment
Ive lied for one more clue
Ive lied about most everything
But I never lied to you

And we lie, lie, lie on a streetcar named desire
Oh we lie, lie, lie for that sweet bird of youth
I could be great like Tennessee Williams
If I could only hear something that sounds like the truth

Some lie in the face of death
Some lie about their fame
Some kneel and lie to God
Some lie about their name

Some lie in words and speeches
With every living breath
The young lie with their guitars
The old lie for a little respect

Ive lied to lie with danger
Ive lied for a drug or two
Ive lied about most everything
But I never lied to you

Ive lied for a stolen moment
Ive lied for one more clue
Ive lied about most everything
But I never lied to you.
