Oosterhuis Trijntje Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Chorus
Oh you better lie to me baby
Sweet nothings, better lie to me baby
How I'll let you get away with it baby
I just want you to stay
I lost my senses through and through
Don't wanna hear about losing you
But somewhere deep inside
I already know it
I have doubts about your loyalty
Where you go when you're not here with me
Trying hard to deny
That you're fooling around
Chorus
Oh you better lie to me baby
Sweet nothings, better lie to me baby
How I'll let you get away with it baby
I just want you to stay
Oh cause if you cheat on me darling
Your sweetest kiss don't mean a thing to me darling
Call me crazy
I believe in us darling
You're mine anyway
Verse II
You're free to come you're free to go
But there is one thing we should know
There's something missing when we are together
cause baby I've got my fantasies
about a man that really cares for me
You and I
We can't go on like this forever
Bridge
You run me round in cirlces
Don't you know what you've got
While you're out there cheating
What makes you think I'm not
What goes around comes around someday
I guess you're better of lying, baby
If you want me to stay
In Oosterhuis Trijntje’s song “Lie to Me”, the singer is finding it difficult to accept the possibility of losing their significant other. As much as they doubt their loyalty, they still want to believe that their lover will not cheat. The chorus of the song has the singer asking their lover to lie to them, perhaps even though they know the truth. The singer just wants their lover to stay, no matter what. The singer is willing to forgive their lover’s indiscretions, as long as they do not cheat on them. However, if the lover does cheat, then the singer’s perspective changes. Even their sweetest kiss would mean nothing to the singer, and they would rather have their lover lie to them.
Verse I has the singer admitting that they have already lost their senses and have doubts about their lover’s loyalty. The singer tries to ignore these doubts, but they know their lover could be fooling around. Even with doubts, the singer wants their lover to lie and tell them sweet nothings. In Verse II, the singer admits that they have fantasies about a man who truly cares for them. The lover is free to leave or stay, but the singer realizes that the relationship is missing something essential. The bridge of the song suggests that the lover is taking the relationship for granted because they are unaware of what they have, while the singer has a suspicion that the lover might also be cheating.

Our relationship is not sustainable if there's no trust or mutual respect
You run me round in cirlces
You're making me feel dizzy and confused with all your lies and excuses
Don't you know what you've got
You're taking our relationship for granted and not valuing it enough
While you're out there cheating
I suspect that you're being unfaithful and it's causing me a lot of pain
What makes you think I'm not
I'm also capable of being unfaithful if I wanted to, but I choose to stay loyal to you
What goes around comes around someday
Your actions will have consequences, even if you don't realize it yet
I guess you're better of lying, baby
It's easier for both of us if you keep lying to me and I keep turning a blind eye
If you want me to stay
I'm willing to put up with a lot of pain and uncertainty if it means keeping you in my life
