Lyrics

Big Fat Lie

Just the other day on my TV
There was a politician standing up to make a speech
He smiled and waved as he walked across the lawn
I could feel a big fat lie coming on

Then I headed out running late for work
That motorcycle cop was such a jerk
Until I grabbed my chest
And said my heart had something wrong
And I could feel a big fat lie coming on

Now matter how I try sometimes
It's hard to tell the truth
When a little lie starts working
Making all the rough things smooth
When I get caught in the middle
I stretch the truth a little
It'll work out and everything will be okay
And that's the truth

After work we headed out for drinks
Sometimes I talk before I think
I said I would buy the house a round
But all my money was gone
And I could feel a big fat lie coming on

Everybody knows what I'm talking about
Sometimes you can't help it, it just comes right out
Does my butt look big, is my perfume way too strong
You can feel a big fat lie coming on
Chorus

YOU LOOK FINE
MAN I SWEAR
I don't even have to try to tell a
BIG FAT LIE

Now matter how I try sometimes
It's hard to tell the truth
When a little lie starts working
Making all the rough things smooth
When I get caught in the middle
I stretch the truth a little
It'll work out and everything will be okay
I'll pay ya back when I get paid
Really. I promise
And that's the truth
