Lyrics
?Four-Letter Lie?
Capers Simmons
VERSE I
?I knew a girl??
Wait a minute have you heard this one before?
I know I have, and I don?t gotta hear no more.
?She had these eyes??
Doesn?t everybody here who isn?t blind?
I know I do, and I can see right through all the lies,
PRECHORUS
Through the rosy-colored glasses in your eyes,
Looking up at lavender skies that are really gray.
CHORUS
Never trust somebody who will always say they love you.
Never trust somebody with those beautiful eyes.
Never trust your heart, its just too easy to deceive you
?Cause love is just a four-letter lie.
VERSE II
?She had this smile??
Yeah, I can smile, too; that doesn?t mean
I?ll tell the truth. Will you believe? That?s up to you.
?She was so beautiful??
Ha! That doesn't mean a thing, it ain't no deeper than the skin
But you cannot see inside ? love is blind
~ PRECHORUS I ~ CHORUS ~
BRIDGE
For so long
You?ve been listening to
Love songs
They?ve been steering you
So wrong
Don?t you know?
~ PRECHORUS I ~ CHORUS I ~
CHORUS II
Never trust somebody who will always say they need you
Never trust somebody with a beautiful smile
You better trust me, baby, ?cause I?m telling you the real truth
That love is just a four-letter lie
~ CHORUS I ~
