Lie to Me
Anneke Van Hooff Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You lie to me, baby you lie to me.
It doesn't matter anymore, what you said before,
'cause anyone can see, that you lie to me,
why do you lie to me?
It doesn't matter anymore, I've been hurt before,
but now you're breaking me
'cause you lie to me.
What do I do now, now our love's come to an end?
We 've been through too much together,
for me to be your friend.
I have always thought, that some things were meant to be,
we belong together, always you and me.
But you lie to me, baby you lie to me.
It doesn't matter anymore, what you said before,
'cause anyone can see, that you lie to me,
why do you lie to me?
It doesn't matter anymore, I've been hurt before,
but now you're breaking me
'cause you lie to me.
What do I do now, now the tables have been turned.
I've been through too much before, you think I should have learnt.
I have always thought, that some things were meant to be,
we belong together, always you and me. (x3)
You lie to me, why do you lie to me?
But you lie to me, baby you lie to me.
It doesn't matter anymore, what you said before,
'cause anyone can see, that you lie to me,
why do you lie to me?
It doesn't matter anymore, I've been hurt before,




but now you're breaking me
'cause you lie to me.
