TELLING ME LIES - Linda Thompson, Betsy Cook

1. They say a woman's fool for weeping
   A fool to break her own heart
   But I can't hold the secret I'm keeping
   I'm breaking apart

2. Can't seem to mind my own business
   Whatever I try turns out wrong
   I seem like my own false witness
   And I can't go on

(Chorus) 
    I cover my ears, I close my eyes
    Still hear your voice and it's telling me lies
    Telling me lies

3. You told me you needed my company
   And I believed in your flattering ways
   You told me you needed me forever
   Nearly gave you the rest of my days

4. Should've seen you for what you are
   Should never have come back for more
   Should've locked up all my silver
   Brought the key back to your door

Chorus:

5. You don't know what a chance is
   Until you have to seize one
   You don't know what a man is
   Until you have to please one

6. Don't put your life in the hands of a man
   With a face for every season
   Don't waste your time in the arms of a man
   Who's no stranger to treason
Chorus:
    I cover my ears, I close my eyes
    Still hear your voice and it's telling me lies

    I cover my ears, I close my eyes
    Still hear your voice and it's telling me lies
