Feel Good Lies
Pauline Högberg Lyrics

Just a little feel good lie
Sometimes people tell small lies to make themselves feel better.

Check your alibi
Make sure you have a believable story to back up your claims.

Everybody tells a little story
Everyone has told a lie or two before.

Everybody tells a white lie
People tell small lies, or white lies, when they don't want to hurt others' feelings or get into trouble.

Sometimes you gotta be careful
You have to be cautious about what you say or do.

You gotta check your reasons why
You should make sure you have a good reason for doing what you're doing.

(I guess you do what you gotta do)
Sometimes you have to do things that you might not want to do in order to get by.

Better watch your back
Be on the lookout for danger or deceit.

(You gotta say what you say)
You have to be honest and straightforward about what you're saying.

You gotta be careful boy
Young man, you should be careful about your actions and words.

Everybody's got a little secret
Everyone has something that they don't want others to know.

Everybody's got a darker side
People have hidden traits that they don't necessarily show in public.

Did you think that I wouldn't see right through it
Did you believe that I wouldn't be able to figure out your deception?

Your alligator tears are dry
Your fake crying is not fooling anyone.

(You gotta say where you're gonna be)
You need to let people know where you're going to be at certain times.

(Where you're coming from)
You need to be honest about your background or previous experiences.

(Real good) Real good
Very convincing

(Feel good lies) Them feel good lies
Lies that make you feel better about yourself

(No good) So good
Very convincing, but potentially harmful or negative

(Alibi) Better check your alibi
Make sure your story checks out and is believable

(Real good) The muse in you
Your artistic or creative side may help you come up with believable lies

(Feel good lies) Make her cry
Using lies to manipulate someone's emotions and make them cry

(No good) Oh, no no no
This is not a good situation

(Alibi) Oh oh oh oh
Making sure your story is believable and doesn't leave any evidence behind

Better run away
You should leave the situation or relationship as it's not good for you

I don't wanna play
I don't want to be involved in whatever you're doing

Who needs it anyway
This situation is not worth having in your life

You think you're irresistible
You believe yourself to be highly attractive or appealing

So hot it's unbelievable
You believe yourself to be incredibly attractive or desirable

I'm thinking you're just predictable
I believe your behavior or actions can be easily guessed or anticipated

Think I'm messing with your plan
You believe I am getting in the way of your scheme

I don't really give a damn about them
I don't care at all about what you're doing or your lies

Real good lies
Lies that are very believable and hard to detect

Them feel good lies
Lies that make you feel good or better about yourself

Come down, get a little real
Stop pretending and start facing reality

Find something that can work for you
Discover something that is genuine and fits with who you are

You ain't no superhero
You are not capable of doing everything or being perfect

Just a faker with an attitude
You are pretending to be someone you're not and have a negative attitude

(Be what you're gonna be)
Just be yourself and stay true to who you are

(Come clean)
Be honest and tell the truth about what you've done or said
