Lie... It's Alright
Bo Bice Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I?ll get you back, I'm out of cash
You can always count on me
Oh I forgot, I really did
Come on baby, just believe

you're so good at telling lies, I'm like here we go again
And I don't need no reason why, you could tell me anything
Just don't think, I don't know that I should let you go
But you're beautiful tonight, so lie it?s alright

I'm over here around your way
No, I'm only stopping by
I though you said, you said to me
Come on over here tonight

No, I don't mind, I kinda like
All the stories that you tell
It?s obvious but I don't care
'Cause you're doing it so well

you're so good at telling lies, I'm like here we go again
And I don't need no reason why, you could tell me anything
Just don't think I don't know that I should let you go
But you're beautiful tonight, so lie it?s alright, it?s alright, it?s alright
You know I want to change a thing, it's alright

you're so good at telling lies, I'm like here we go again
And I don't need no reason why, you could tell me anything
Just don't think I don't know that I should let you go
But you're beautiful tonight, so lie it?s alright

you're so good at telling lies, I'm like here we go again
And I don't need no reason why, you could tell me anything




Just don't think I don't know that I should let you go
But you're beautiful tonight, so lie it?s alright

Overall Meaning

In Bo Bice's song Lie... It's Alright, the singer addresses a lover who he knows is lying to him. He knows that the lies are coming, but he can't help but keep falling for them every time. The opening lines, "I'll get you back, I'm out of cash/You can always count on me," suggest that the singer is not only broke but also codependent on this lover. He then acknowledges that he knows the lover is lying to him when he says, "you're so good at telling lies, I'm like here we go again/And I don't need no reason why, you could tell me anything," but still can't resist their beauty when he says, "But you're beautiful tonight, so lie it's alright."


The theme of the song seems to be addiction and codependency. The singer knows that the relationship is toxic, but he keeps coming back for more because he can't resist the allure of the lies and the lover's beauty. The repeated refrain of "so lie it's alright" emphasizes the singer's willingness to overlook the lies in order to keep the relationship going.
