Verse 2

Lies, don't lie, baby, don't tell lies

Verse 3
D 
It's a little play on words,
A 
so don't misunderstand
Bm 
That someone you once knew so well,
G 
has turned the other hand
D 
Secrets told in haste are just
A 
written on the wall
Bm 
Burning 'cross the mountain tops,
G 
it's hard to learn to fall

Verse 4

Lies, don't lie, baby, don't tell lies

Verse 5

ain't nobody's business what

you're thinking to yourself

Keeping your mind on your own time,

Esus4

ain't got no line on nobody else

Verse 6
D 
If it ain't what you said,
A 
then someone misconstrued
Bm 
They must have missed your
G 
meaning by the way it looks on you
D 
I never meant to hurt my friends,
A 
and  every time I did
Bm 
Words I chose to speak my heart
G 
just ran away and hid

Verse 7

Lies, don't lie, baby, don't tell lies

Verse 9
D 
Be careful what you say if
A 
it ain't something good
Bm 
If it ain't what you wanna hear
G 
around the neighborhood
D 
You better keep your hat pulled down,
A 
low around your ears
Bm 
Don't listen to the idle words that
G 
you once spoke so clear
