If the truth hurts, tell me a lie.
Tell me you love me, you don't have to look in my eye.
And if your heart aches for somebody new,
Tell it to somebody else who doesn't love you like I do.

I don't wanna know where you are the nights,
You don't come home till dawn.
And if there's a tear in my eye,
You don't have to ask, darlin', what's wrong.

When the telephone rings, will you pick up the 'phone?
'Cause half of the time, there's nobody therewhen I say: "Hello."

Instrumental break.

I don't wanna know where you are the nights,
You don't come home till dawn.
And if there's a tear in my eye,
You don't have to ask, darlin', what's wrong.

If the truth hurts, tell me a lie.
Tell me you love me, you don't have to look in my eye.
And if your heart aches for somebody new,
Tell it to somebody else who doesn't love you like I do.

Tell it to somebody else who doesn't love you like I do.
