Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don’t wanna battle
With you
With you
With you

So baby just live the lie
Live the lie
Live the lie

We could be all we need but I’m stuck in the middle
But I’m chasing the top
Faded off the cup ay young nigga in the mood for a little
But I can’t take a lot
Broke her off the hing now lately she just wanna get sinful
Trynna fuck up the spot
I could tell the truth but the lies make things so simple
Now she peeping the plot
Love the dreams in her head
I just keep em well kept
A lil demon in Prada
A lil devil in nada
Oh she taste like wata
And she do tricks like tada
Mix it up till I’m dizzy
Lord pray for my kidneys
And she cool I’m kizzy
And she swallow my kids b
That’s how I know she ain’t kidding me
These niggas whack is you shittin me
Baby suck me like candy
And I drink her like canteen
Baby love who I can be
And she ride me like a 10 speed
Baby girl want all of me
But she'll only get a piece
Only get a piece

Look I don’t wanna battle

So baby just live the lie

These lyrics from Eddie and Sunshine's song "Lies" depict the feeling of betrayal and disappointment that arises from being lied to by a loved one. The opening lines paint a picture of a beautiful night under the moon, with the singer believing that heaven was in the eyes of their loved one. However, as the song progresses, it becomes clear that the loved one had been dishonest with the singer, telling them "little white lies" that they didn't mean. Despite this, the singer finds it hard to forget and regrets the situation, reflecting that the loved one had both the devil in their heart and heaven in their eyes.
The song captures the feeling of being disappointed or deceived by someone that we care about, and the impact that it can have on us emotionally. The lyrics highlight the difficulty that comes with trying to forget or move past such an event, and the deep emotions that arise when we recall the hurt caused by someone we trusted.

The moon was all aglow
The mood was romantic and set for love
But heaven was in your eyes
You had a look of innocence and purity that drew me in
The night that you told me
This moment was a turning point in our relationship
Those little white lies
The lies you told me were small and seemingly harmless, but still significant
The stars all seemed to know
Even nature could sense that something wasn't right
You didn't mean all those sighs
Your expressions of affection were insincere
I try, but there's no forgetting
I cannot erase this memory from my mind
When evenin' appears
Every night it comes back to haunt me
I sigh but there's no regretting
I feel deep sorrow, but cannot undo what's been done
In spite of my tears
I am grieving over this betrayal
Who wouldn't believe those lips
You had a convincing way of lying
Who wouldn't believe those eyes
Your expression seemed genuine and believable
The Devil was in your heart
You were deceitful and underhanded
Those little white lies
You were not truthful with me, and it hurt
Teeny-weeny little white lies
The scale of your deception was small, but painful nonetheless

I had this 7" original and was dj'ing it. But once someone stole my 7" stack and Ive spent 16 tears looking for it! Thank you - it fills a hole in my heart! International phone calls are the peak of the human race

When I see this vid I am transported back to Sept 1981. It is quite a delight. I had to beg for the money to pay for the ticket. Beg and scavenge. I even collected money from returning bottles and cans. I also stripped the house down for coins jammed in cracks by the previous owner's kids. I think that is why I got the ticket from my parents. I saved and saved I I got enough money to buy an Ultravox t-shirt and an E&D 7" (All I See is You). It was an adventure. Perhaps performers do not realise what influence they have on people...

Marvelous back up to Ultravox at Hammersmith Odean now Hammersmith Apollo. Also at 'futurist' club in Cippenham. I've got this on 12" single but no record player. :-(
