‘98 Lovers’ Lies

Stephin Merritt

Lovers' lies, lovers' lies
They should make us roll our eyes
Oh, if only we were wise!
We'd be lonelier, and wise

Lovers' words, lovers' words
They are strictly for the birds
A strong sense of the absurd's
No defense from lovers' words

Every word you say
Every word you sigh
Every word a lie
Every word you crow
Every word you cry
Every word a lie

Lovers' truth, lovers' truth
Heard in every buddy booth
When we're longer in the tooth
Mothers' milk is lovers' truth

Lovers' lies, lovers' lies
They are only lullabies
Please remind me to devise
A sound to drown out lovers' lies
