I Told Her Lies

[Verse 1]
I took my baby home one night after a picture show
She said, "Rob, I'd like to take you in but first, I need to know
"Is it my body that you want or the real girl inside?"
So I looked deep into my heart and I told her lies

[Chorus 1]
Yeah I told her lies, I told her lies
Big and little, long and tall, every shape and size
And when she unlocked the door I knew I'd won the prize
I couldn't tell her what I thought so I told her lies

[Verse 1]
Well, livin' on love would not do, she had to tie the knot
We bought the rings and made the plans quicker than a rifle shot
And when the justice said "Now, do you swear?" I gazed into her eyes
And in a voice sincere with fingers crossed, I told her lies

[Chorus 2]
Yeah I told her lies, I told her lies
Big and little, long and tall, every shape and size
'Til when I heard the word "forever," 'twas then I realized
I couldn't tell her what I thought so I told her lies

[Instrumental]
(Next)

[Verse 3]
Now as the years went drifting by, temptation slowly grew
I'd stalk a tramp from time-to-time, I even slept with two
But no matter how I betrayed her, I made sure to keep it hid
And every time she got suspicious, well, you know what I did

[Chorus 3]
I told her lies, I told her lies
Well, I chased women long and tall, every shape and size
She kept being faithful, I kept up my disguise
I couldn't tell her what I'd done so I told her lies

[Verse 4]
Yeah, we lived on in perfect bliss and then one day I died
And as my soul flew heavenward I looked below and spied
A graveside filled with mourners and everyone in tears
And when the preacher rose to speak, I could not believe my ears
He said I'd been the kind of man all others aspire to be
A loyal friend, a loving spouse; ha, that rat lied more than me
So fellas, if you wanna stand tall in humanity's eyes
Just pay no mind to the laws of God, keep tellin' those lies

[Chorus 4]
Yeah I told her lies, I told her lies
Big and little, long and tall, every shape and size
I shunned the good, I spat on the true, all virtue I despised
I couldn't tell her what I thought, so I told her lies
I told her lies
