Tell me why Why do people lie? Lying only breaks their hearts And tears their lives apart Making them cry Even if I try Even if I lie to little babe I know she'll never leave me She'll stay by my side

Why don't we make believe we're in love again Who said the crimson moon doesn't shine Where do people go when they're lookin' for that one of a kind Why don't we make believe that we're sorry Why must we hold it all inside Where do lovers go when they're

Why'd you lie? Why'd you lie The very first rule That you learned in school Was that you shouldn't try to fool The people you're close to And now you're almost full grown I really should've known If I left you on your own

Careless talk Jealous talk That's what you heard about me That's what I heard about you Everybody's telling lies I don't even know why Why can't people Find something better to do I don't believe what they say

Why don't you come over 'bout a quarter to nine Bring all of your fam'ly and I will bring mine If I should bring my brothers, and you bring the others Then I can sing a song like Jeru, just for you Just for all the lovely people that you see in the road
