You've got a way of makin' me blue and I've got a way of hurtin' you too

Oh what a terrible tangled web we're we

You've got a gentleman of the side and I've got a friend that I'm tryin' to hide

Oh what a terrible tangled web we're we

We both got our way of goin' our way knowin' the cost gets greater each day

And I know you know we both know we both deceive

We've got a way of livin' a lie and lie's got a way of makin' us cry

Oh what a terrible tangled web we're we

[ harmonica ]

Why'd've we have to settle for it how can we take too much more

It figures we both got the nerve to leave

We've got a way of livin' a lie...

Oh what a terrible tangled web we're we
