You Don't Have To Lie To Me
©Jay Bertalan
Rainy nights make the time stand still
I never will understand why
You want to tell me you’re a lonely girl
With no one by your side
You’d look so good up on the silver screen
A movie queen acting your part
That’s the way you make me feel about you
Telling stories from the start to break my heart
You don’t have to lie to me
It’s not the way it has to be
Baby, you could lie here next to me forever and a day
I call you on the telephone
They tell me that you’re never home
Something got away from both of us
I’m telling you the truth darlin’
You don’t have to lie to me
Remember when all the days were long
And a love so strong could never fall
It’s kinda crazy how the tables turned
A lesson learned, that’s all
But lately I’ve been thinking more about you
What’s a man to do under your spell
You’ve got me looking for you day and night
I’m losing sight once again, it’s so easy to tell
That you don’t have to lie to me
It’s not the way it has to be
Baby, you could lie here next to me forever and a day
I call you on the telephone
They tell me that you’re never home
Something got away from both of us
I’m telling you the truth darlin’
You don’t have to lie to me
