Opening
Tell me exactly what am I supposed to do
Now that I have allowed you to beat me
Do you think that we could play another game
Maybe I could win this time
I kind of like the misery you put me through
Darlin' you can trust me completely
If you even try to look the other way
I think that I could kill this time
Ah ah!
Ah ah!
Verse 1
It doesn't really seem I'm getting through to you
Though I see you weeping so sweetly
I think that you might have to take another taste
A little bit of hell this time
Hook
Ah ah!
Lie to me
Ah ah!
Chorus
Lie to me
Is she not right?
Is she insane?
Will she now
Run for her life in the battle that ends this day
Is she not right?
Is she insane?
Will she now
Run for her life now that she lied to me
Verse 2
You always wanted people to remember you
To leave your little mark on society
Don't you know your wish is coming true today
Another victim dies tonight
Hook
Ah ah!
Lie to me
Ah ah!
Chorus
Lie to me
Is she not right?
Is she insane?
Will she now
Run for her life in the battle that ends this day
Is she not right?
Is she insane?
Will she now
Run for her life now that she lied to me
...
Bridge
Is she really telling lies again
Doesn't she realize she's in danger
Chorus
Is she not right?
Is she insane?
Will she now
Run for her life in the battle that ends this day
Is she not right?
Is she insane?
Will she now
Run for her life now that she lied to me
Ending
The little bitch she went and she told A LIE
And now she will never tell another A LIE
The little bitch she went and she told A LIE
NEVER FUCKING LIE TO ME!
