You can't con a con, don't sugar coat it,
The greatest play of all, baby I wrote it,
You tell me you love me,
And I don't believe a word you have to say,
Because we both lie
Even if it hurts, go ahead and say it,
Even if it's out of tune, go ahead and play it,
Lay it on the table, baby I can take it,
I'm sick and tired of lying,
Tell me something true
You drive around the block to hide your cigarettes,
You lie beside me every night, wishing it was him,
You're hoping that I fall in love with someone else so it won't be your fault,
But we both lie, we both lie
Even if it hurts, go ahead and say it,
Even if it's out of tune, go ahead and play it,
Lay it on the table, baby I can take it,
I'm sick and tired of lying,
Tell me something true
Even if it hurts, go ahead and say it,
Even if it's out of tune, go ahead and play it,
Lay it on the table, baby I can take it,
I'm sick and tired of lying,
Tell me something true
I'm sick and tired of lying,
Tell me something true
