Five Ways to Lie

[Verse 1] On a dusty crossroad, under the dying light, He promised forever, not just for one night. Words sweet as honey, truth never stood a chance, [Refrain]That’s the first way to lie to a woman. (mmm mmm) [Verse 2] In a smoky bar room, where jazz bands play, He spun tales of riches, just a game he’d play. Checks signed with a wink, no cash in his hand, [Refrain]That’s the second way to lie to a woman. (mmm mmm) [Verse 3] At the river's edge, where he took her hand, Spoke of dreams and future, as if nothing's planned. But the ring in his pocket, hid from her sight, [Refrain]That’s the third way to lie to a woman. (mmm mmm) [Verse 4] Underneath the moon, where the cold wind cries, He told tales of valor, masked in brave disguise. A hero in his stories, a coward in the sand, [Refrain]That’s the fourth way to lie to a woman. (mmm mmm) [Verse 5] At the chapel steps, he vowed his solemn word, Spoke of sacred things, none of which were heard. Promises like mist, faded where they stand, [Refrain]That’s the fifth way to lie to a woman. (mmm mmm) [Outro] So heed this tale, Beware of sweet talking men passing by. Five ways to lie, woven by crafty hands, Take this as a lesson, heed its reprimand. (mmm mmm) [End]
