Let's talk it over babe before we start
I heard you had a way of over playing your part
But don't lie to me
Don't you lie to me
You see it makes me mad and I get as evil as a man can be

Well there's two kinds of people that I just can't stand
That's a sneakin' woman and a lyin' man
Now don't lie to me
Don't you lie to me
You see it makes me mad and I get as evil as a man can be

I'm gonna love you 'til the cows come home
But don't let me catch you out on your own
And don't lie to me
Don't you lie to me
You see it makes me mad and I get as evil as a man can be

Here's a proposition that I'll give to you
I'm gonna give you my love, won't you give me yours too
But don't lie to me
Don't you lie to me
You see it makes me mad and I get as evil as a man can be
