Why you lie?
I realise
That we've been found out this time

We should stand together
If we can
But what you planned
Means there's a difference between ...

     What you're gonna say in private
     You still want my love, we're in this together
     And what you're gonna do in public
     Say you were never in love that you can remember

So discrete (She's so discrete)
I never tried to meet (She never)
Your friends or interfere (No)
I took a back seat (Back seat) between ...

     On what you're gonna say in private
     You still want my love, we're in this together
     And what you're gonna do in public
     Say you were never in love that you can remember

          What you gonna say
          When you run back to your wife
          I guess it's just the story of her life
          What you gonna say

So take your time
And tell me, when did you lie
Oh, I mean
All the time (No)
That there's a difference (A difference) between (between)

     On what you're gonna say in private
     You still want my love, we're in this together
     And what you're gonna do in public
     Say you were never in love that you can remember

     Tell me what you gonna say (In private) Oooh
     (You still want my love, we're in this together)
     What you gonna say, what you gonna do
     (And what you're gonna do) Baby
     (in public) What you gonna say
     (Say you were never in love) Oooh
     (that you can remember) What you gonna say
     Say in private
