Lyrics

Why Would I Lie
( Plumusic / ASCAP)

Verse 1
First time I saw you I thought that you should know
I saw your face in a dream not long ago
When I tried to tell you how I feel
You looked at me as if to say, "Can this be real?"
And you said you thought you had heard it all before

Chorus 1
I know you thought that I was tryin' to hand you a line
But that's much more romantic than what I had in mind
I just had to get your attention do or die
I told you everything I thought you wanted to hear
Then you flipped a coin to see if I was really sincere
You laughed so hard when you heard me reply,
"When the truth is so much better, baby, Why Would I Lie?"

Verse 2
Now that we've met I'm sure that dreams come true
I never thought I would find someone like you
Well I know that we were meant to be
In time I think you might even get used to me
But let's just take it one step at a time

Chorus 2
I know you find it all a little hard to believe
But I'm the kind of guy who wears his heart on his sleeve
If there's something that I want, it's do or die
I might exaggerate a little from time to time
But I'm not exaggerating when I say you'll be mine
I say what I'm thinking, that I'll never deny
When the truth is so much better, baby, Why Would I Lie
