Don't lie
Bai Kamara Jr Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't lie

Watch every word you say
Might just use it against you
In the light of day
Might not just excuse you

Silly how, silly how we've come to this

In and out of strange alibis
Silly how you faked a kiss
Now I know as time goes by

Don't lie, don't lie
The bitter truth is something I have to taste
Don't lie, don't lie
The bitter truth is something I must taste

Face to face, not on the phone
And I know you're not alone
Jealousy, jealousy's got a hold on me
But it's got the best of you

Silly how, silly how we come to this
In and out of strange alibis

Don't lie, don't lie
The bitter truth is something I have to taste
Don't lie, don't lie
The bitter truth is something I must taste

Don't lie, don't lie, don't lie to me
I would know in a way
Don't lie, don't lie, don't lie to me
I would know in a way

Don't lie, don't lie
The bitter truth is something I have to taste
Don't lie, don't lie
The bitter truth is something I must taste

Don't lie, don't lie
The bitter truth is something we all must taste
Don't lie, don't lie
The bitter truth is something I must taste

Don't lie, don't lie, don't lie to me
I would know in a way

Don't lie, don't lie, don't lie to me
I would know in a way
