Lie to Me
neyo Lyrics

Lie to me
The singer wants to be lied to.

I just want to be numb
The singer wants to avoid feeling any emotions.

I don't want to feel a thing
The singer wants to avoid experiencing any feelings.

I don't want reality
The artist wants to escape from reality.

Actually, reality stinks
The artist dislikes reality.

How about we just pretend,
The singer wants to engage in fantasy and imagination.

That your cellphone didn't even ring
The singer wants to be told that something didn't happen.

And that I wasn't on the other side of the door
The artist wants to be told that they didn't witness something.

Listening to everything.
The artist is referring to overhearing a conversation.

Tell me another lie
The artist wants to be told more lies.

I don't wanna know what I know to be true,
The singer acknowledges that they know the truth, but wishes to ignore it.

What I need you to do, tell me another lie,
The artist wants to be comforted with a lie.

Please make me believe
The singer wants to be convinced of something, regardless of whether it's true or not.

That there is nobody for you and me
The singer wants to be reassured that they are the only person for their partner.

When I ask who where you talking to
The singer wants to know who their partner was speaking with.

Tell me it was Kimberly
The artist suggests a specific person who they would like their partner to have been talking to.

Tell me the last night you didn't leave
The artist wants to be told that their partner stayed with them the entire night.

After you thought I was asleep
The singer suggests that their partner may have left while they were sleeping.

Crept back in that six-forty five
The singer wants to be told that their partner returned later on in the night.

Tell me it was just a dream
The artist wants to be told that something that happened was actually a dream.

Baby I need, desperately, desperately, to believe you
The artist is pleading for their partner to tell them a lie to help them trust them again.

Cause I won't be held responsible
The artist doesn't want to be held accountable for their actions if their partner doesn't lie.

For what, what I might do
The singer suggests that they may do something drastic if their partner doesn't lie.

Tell me another lie
The artist wants more lies to help them cope.
