Standard Lie Number One - Stella Parton

作词：Stella Parton/Dennis C. Wilson

作曲：Stella Parton/Dennis C. Wilson

I guess I've either heard or told all the standard lies

When I hear him telling one it comes as no surprise

He never has a new one they're the ones he's told before

And I've kinda' got em' numbered and it's just like keeping score

He says sorry I'm so late but I ran into an old friend

I know that one well that's old standard number ten

I won't be home for dinner hun cause I'll be workin' late

Well score one more for good ol' standard lie number eight

There's no way of keeping score on standard number four

He tells himself that I don't know what's goin' on

Then he comes home after midnight when he's got his cheatin' done

And he whispers that he loves me

Standard lie number one

Those lies are his favorites they're the ones he likes to tell

But there's a different set of numbers for the ones I tell myself

But my lies hurt me so much more than his old stories do

Cause I know his are lies I pretend that mine are true

Standard number three is that someday I'm gonna leave

Number two is he'll be sorry when I'm gone

But the biggest one of all the one that keeps me hangin' on

Is that he really loves me

Standard lie number one

Standard lie number one

Standard lie number one
