Girls Lie Too
Terri Clark Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Her sister's sick, she's gotta babysit
Yeah that sounds like a pretty good excuse
Now you didn't hear any of this from me
But things aren't always what they seem
Brace yourself, this may come as a shock to you
Girls lie too
What you drive or what you weigh
Size don't matter anyway
Girls lie too
Don't think you're the only ones
Who bend it, break it, stretch it some
We learned from you
Girls lie too
We can't wait to hear how many fish you caught
Love to see dead deer heads on the wall
And we really don't mind if you dip or chew
Other guys never cross our mind
We don't wonder what it might be like
How could it be any better than it is with you
Girls lie too
We don't' care how much money you make
What you drive or what you weigh
Size don't matter anyway
Girls lie too
Don't think you're the only ones
Who bend it, break it, stretch it some
We learned from you
Girls lie too
Yeah girls lie too
We always forgive and forget
The cards and flowers you never sent
Will never be brought up again
Girls lie too
Old grey sweat pants turn us on
We like your friends and we love your mom
And that's the truth
Girls lie too
Yeah, that's the truth
Girls lie too
No, we don't care how much hair you have
Yeah, that looks good, comb it over like that
The song "Girls Lie Too" by Terri Clark is a tongue-in-cheek take on the perception that men are the only ones who lie in relationships. The song talks about the excuses women use to avoid going out on a date, the things they claim to be interested in to make their partners happy, and the things they pretend not to notice about their partners. The lyrics suggest that women are just as guilty of telling white lies as men are, and that they sometimes do it to spare their partners' feelings. The chorus repeats the phrase "Girls lie too," emphasizing the point that women are not always honest in relationships.
The song touches on a number of gender stereotypes and expectations that surround relationships. It pokes fun at the idea that men are supposed to be the breadwinners and that women are supposed to be impressed by flashy cars and expensive gifts. It also suggests that women are not always as interested in their partners' hobbies and interests as they claim to be. The song offers a lighthearted take on these stereotypes and encourages listeners to laugh at them.
Overall, "Girls Lie Too" is a playful and upbeat song that challenges gender roles and expectations in relationships. The song acknowledges that both men and women are capable of telling lies and that honesty is not always the best policy in romantic relationships.
Line by Line Meaning
So she can't go out tonight again
Sometimes girls will flake on plans and claim that they can't go out for a reason that seems legitimate and out of their control.
Her sister's sick, she's gotta babysit
For instance, they might say that they have to cancel because a family member is sick or they have to take care of someone else's child.
Yeah that sounds like a pretty good excuse
Although the excuse may seem plausible, the real reason could be something else entirely.
Now you didn't hear any of this from me
Girls may not be forthright and open about their motives or intentions, and they might even explicitly ask that their true intentions not be revealed to others.
But things aren't always what they seem
At times, girls may appear to be doing one thing while they are really doing something entirely different, or they may have alternative and hidden motives.
Brace yourself, this may come as a shock to you
The realization that girls may not always be truthful, even about seemingly benign or insignificant things, may be surprising and unexpected to some.
We don't' care how much money you make
Girls do not judge guys based on their income or financial status in the same way that guys often do with girls.
What you drive or what you weigh
Guys' cars and physical appearance are not as important to girls as they are to guys themselves.
Size don't matter anyway
Physical size, particularly below the waist, is not the sole determining factor in whether a guy is attractive or satisfying in a relationship.
Don't think you're the only ones
Guys are not the only ones who are prone to lying or exaggerating the truth for personal benefit or to impress others.
Who bend it, break it, stretch it some
Just like guys, girls may twist the truth or alter facts in order to make themselves look better or to manipulate a situation in their favor.
We learned from you
Sometimes, girls will pick up on the same habits of lying and deception that they see in guys around them.
We can't wait to hear how many fish you caught
Girls may pretend to be interested in traditionally male activities like hunting or fishing in order to bond with their guy partner or crush.
Love to see dead deer heads on the wall
Girls may also feign interest in masculine decor or hobbies, even if they don't actually find them appealing, in order to connect with guys.
And we really don't mind if you dip or chew
Girls might overlook unsavory or unpleasant habits in guys that they would not tolerate in themselves or in other girls.
Other guys never cross our mind
Girls in relationships or who are interested in a particular guy might pretend that other guys don't catch their eye or interest in order to show loyalty and commitment to that one guy.
We don't wonder what it might be like
Girls in relationships might also claim that they have no curiosity or desire to experiment with other people or other relationships, even if they kind of do.
How could it be any better than it is with you
Girls might try to convince their guy partners or crushes that they are totally content and satisfied in their current relationship or partnership, even if they aren't.
We always forgive and forget
Girls might claim to be very forgiving and laid-back in relationships, even if they really harbor resentment or anger deep down.
The cards and flowers you never sent
Girls might act like they don't mind when guys forget important dates or don't do romantic gestures, even if they really do.
Will never be brought up again
Girls might pretend to let go of past slights or mistakes, only to bring them up again later on as ammunition in a future argument or disagreement.
Old grey sweat pants turn us on
Girls might claim to find certain articles of clothing or physical traits attractive in guys that aren't that conventionally attractive or sexy.
We like your friends and we love your mom
Girls may try to get in good with a guy's friend group or family members, even if they are not intrinsically drawn to them, in order to strengthen the relationship overall.
And that's the truth
Despite all these ways that girls may sometimes twist the truth, they still honestly care about and love the guys they are with.

Seriously, that has to be the BEST Captain Jack impersonator ever. Not a Johnny Depp impersonator, but Captain Jack. Different, entirely. But yeah, that guy REALLY has his act down. It's uncanny.

One of the most honest country music songs in the history of country music
Morgan Janelle
@DG-dh2lt 💯 Also...Mindy McCready's song "Guys Do It All The Time". The lyrics ('message') are pretty much the same. ✔😀
It was released in 1996, eight years before Terri's song "Girls Lie Too".
