In my eyes
Tell me everything, tell me lies
Tell me what you need for a night (yeah)
I don't mind (yeah)
I don't mind (yeah)
Look at me (ooh)
In my eyes (yeah)
Give me what I need for a night (what I)
I don't mind (nah)
I don't mind (nah)
Ayy, just got out the state
Ayy, I cannot explain
Ayy, (yeah) first time in the coupe
Ayy, (woah) now she on my face
Ayy
I'm cruisin' like I need that night off
She touch the coat, I dust the ice off
I can't see nothing with these lights off
Nah, I need you to
Look at me (ooh)
In my eyes (in my eyes)
Tell me everything, tell me lies (tell me lies)
Tell me what you need for a night (yeah)
I don't mind (mind)
I don't mind (yeah)
Look at me (tell me, ooh)
In my eyes (yeah yeah)
Tell me everything, tell me lies (tell me lies)
Give me what I need for a night (for a night)
I don't mind (I don't mind)
I don't mind (I don't mind)
Oh yeah yeah yeah
Keep the bands right here
Got a diamond on her face
I ain't going nowhere
I been runnin' through a stack
I see popo in the mirror
If I don't look in the back
Then the money disappear (oh oh)
I'm cruisin' like I need that night off
She touch the coat, I dust the ice off
I can't see nothing with these lights off
Nah, I need you to
Look at me (ooh)
In my eyes (in my eyes)
Tell me everything, tell me lies (tell me lies)
Tell me what you need for a night (for a night)
I don't mind (I don't mind)
I don't mind (I don't mind)
Look at me (look)
In my eyes (in my)
Tell me everything, tell me lies (tell me lies)
Give me what I need for a night (for a night)
I don't mind (I don't mind)
I don't mind (I don't mind yeah)
The lyrics to Johnny Yukon's song "Lies" could be interpreted as the singer's desire for fleeting and meaningless relationships despite being aware of the falsehoods and dishonesty that come with it. The first verse sees the singer beckoning someone to look into their eyes and divulge deep secrets and lies, seemingly unconcerned whether it could lead to pain or not. The repetition of "I don't mind" at the end of each line in the verse reinforces this notion of casualness and detachment.
The second verse sees the singer talk about his lavish lifestyle and the temporary nature of his romantic encounters. He mentions how he needs someone to help him escape the reality of his situation, someone who can look past the superficiality and lies involved. The chorus repeats the same themes from the first verse, indicating the singer's fixation on transience and dishonesty.
Overall, "Lies" seems to be conveying a sense of recklessness and hedonism that comes with indulging in temporary, false relationships while acknowledging the cost it incurs on oneself and others.
