Lie to Me
meghan trainor Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't want your sympathy
I don't want your hands on me
I wish you thought differently
I wish you could feel like me
Ah-ah, like me
Ah-ah

So why
Why won't you love me back?
No, don't do me like that
I know I don't deserve you
I know I always hurt you
But the least you could do

Is lie to me
Tell me that you love me
And you'd die for me (die for me), ohh
Cry for me
Say you can't go on without me
I can't take the truth anymore
So lie

I don't want the truth
I want you

I want no other lovers
I wanna be the only one
'Cause you and me are good together
So don't say we are done
Oh nah, don't say we are done
Oh nah, no-no

But why
Why won't you love me back?
No, don't do me like that
I know I don't deserve you
I know I always hurt you
But the least you could do

Is lie to me
Tell me that you love me
And you'd die for me (die for me), ohh
Ohh, cry for me
Say you can't go on without me
I can't take the truth anymore
So lie

I don't want the truth
I want you
I don't want the truth, I want you

So why
Why won't you love me back?
No, don't do me like that
I know I don't deserve you
I know I always hurt you
But the least you could do is





I don't want the truth
I want you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Meghan Trainor's song "Lie to Me" express the desire to continue a relationship, even if it's based on lies. The singer confesses that she doesn't want the truth, but instead wants her partner to lie to her and tell her that he loves her and can't live without her. The lyrics indicate that the singer is aware that she has hurt her partner in the past and doesn't deserve their love, but she still wishes that they could be together.


In the chorus, Meghan Trainor sings "So lie to me, tell me that you love me, and you'd die for me, cry for me, say you can't go on without me." These lines are a clear indication that the singer is seeking validation and reassurance, even if it is ultimately false. The song implies that the singer is willing to accept lies and deception to keep the relationship going.


The interesting thing about this song is how it deals with themes of honesty and deception within a romantic relationship. Most songs promote honesty and trust as the foundation of a successful relationship, but "Lie to Me" suggests that sometimes lying and deception might be necessary. This song showcases Meghan Trainor's ability to create pop bops with a message, but it's a message that deserves critical analysis.

لية، لية لا تحبني؟ ، لا تفعلني كده
Lie lie la tahabani la tafaalani keda

أعلم أنني لا أستحقك
وأنا أعلم أنني دائما يؤذيك
Aalam inni la asatahaak
Waana aalam inni daama yawasik

ولكن أقل ما يمكن أن تفعله هو
Walakan aala ma yimkin an tafaala huwa

اكذب علي
أخبرني أنك تحبني
وأنك تموت من أجلي ، (أموت من أجلي)
Akasab ali
Akabarani innak tahabani
Waannak tamut man akali
صرخ من أجلي ، قل لا يمكنك الاستمرار بدوني
لا أستطيع أخذ الحقيقة بعد ... الآن كذب
Sarak man akali ala la yimakanak alasatamiarar baduni
La asatatih akas alahaaiah aaad.. alan kasab

لا اريد الحقيقة اريدك
La arid alahaaiah aridak
