Lip Service
Wet Wet Wet Lyrics

Ain't got enough, so I go out and get some more
I do not possess enough, therefore I have to obtain more by any means necessary

It got so bad it nearly left me lying on the floor
The situation became dire, to the point where it almost rendered me immobile

I started thinking that it's wearing on my soul
I've begun to feel that this habit is affecting me at a deeper level

But I got to get it getting tonight
Regardless of everything, I have to get it tonight

Raindrops keep fallin' on my window, pain!
The constant sound of the rain hitting my window feels like physical pain

They make my company
The raindrops have become my sole companions

I can hear them knocking on my door
It feels like the rain wants to come in, as if it's a person knocking

Now, should I let them in?
I contemplate whether or not to open the door and allow the rain in

When I look at the faces baby
When I observe the expressions of others

You see how the other side dies
It's apparent that the outside world is suffering from the same issues

I've got to, got to, got to
I'm compelled to do it, there's no other option

Let them come on in
Allow them to enter my life and share this experience with me

Your lip service getting
Your empty promises and insincere words are becoming

Right out of order
Completely unacceptable and disorderly

Better keep looking
You should continue searching for a solution

Or I'll blow my cover
Otherwise, I'll be exposed for not living up to my expectations

She'll get caught by big sister midnight
She'll be discovered by the looming inevitability of time

I've been only telling stories
I haven't been truthful, merely telling tales

You will only tell me lies
You're dishonest and only speak falsehoods to me

I get the picture cause you never got my soul!
I understand your true intentions, as you never understood me or had genuine care for me

I get it, handed back, it turns into a tray of gold
I realize that what I received from you, once returned, has a value that I didn't initially see

That's just a victim of the promises you told
I'm simply a casualty of the vows you made

I sit and count the cost of living tonight
I'm pondering the consequences of my choices and actions

Bottle the past and number the label
Hold onto your memories and keep them organized

Drink to the future, girl be ready and able
Indulge in hopes for the future and prepare yourself for what's to come

Get a grip with a new fixation
Focus your energy on a new interest and maintain your self-control

And take them all and let them all in
Open yourself up to everything and everyone, let them into your life

Should I let them (all come in)
I'm still questioning whether or not to allow everything and everyone in

Lies
A reflection of the deceit that's been present in the artist's life
