Lie to Me
ÄáÅ·Ne-Yo Lyrics

Lie to me
The singer wants the other person to lie to them

I just want to be numb
The singer wants to be emotionally detached

I don't want to feel a thing
The singer doesn't want to experience any emotions

I don't want reality
The artist wants to avoid reality

Actually, reality stinks
The artist dislikes reality

How about we just pretend,
The singer suggests pretending instead of facing the truth

That your cellphone didn't even ring
The singer wants to be lied to about the other person's phone activity

And that I wasn't on the other side of the door
The artist doesn't want to acknowledge that they heard something

Listening to everything.
The artist was eavesdropping

Tell me another lie
The artist wants to hear another falsehood

I don't wanna know what I know to be true,
The singer wants to be ignorant of the reality

What I need you to do, tell me another lie,
The artist requests another lie from the other person

Please make me believe
The singer wants to be convinced

That there is nobody for you and me
The singer wants to be told that there is no one else in the other person's life

When I ask who where you talking to
The singer is suspicious of the other person's phone call

Tell me it was Kimberly
The artist wants the other person to give a specific name as an answer

Tell me the last night you didn't leave
The artist wants to be reassured that the other person didn't go anywhere

After you thought I was asleep
The singer knows the other person left while they were awake

Crept back in that six-forty five
The singer is aware of a specific time the other person returned

Tell me it was just a dream
The artist wants to be told that what they heard or saw was not real

Baby I need, desperately, desperately
The artist needs to believe the other person

To believe you
The artist wants to trust the other person

Cause I won't be held responsible
The singer doesn't want to be held accountable for their actions

For what, what I might do
The artist is capable of doing something drastic if they are hurt

Tell me another lie
The singer wants to keep hearing lies

Tell me another lie
The singer insists on hearing more fabrications

Tell me another lie
The singer wants to be deceived again

Tell me another lie
The artist desires more falsehoods

I don't wanna know what I know to be true,
The artist repeats their desire to not know the truth

What I need you to do, tell me another lie,
The singer reiterates their need for lies
