Lie No Better - Etta James

作词：Gary Nicholson

作曲：Gary Nicholson

Here you come dragging in

Three am again

Grinning that silly grin

Smelling just like sin

Holding up that alibi that's tissue paper thin

Digging down deeper and deeper

In that hole you're already in

If you can't lie no better

If you can't lie no better

If you can't lie no better

You might as well tell the truth

I know you been fooling around

With some fool way across town

Tearing our good thing down

Making me out your clown

Looking for excuses that you know can't be found

You move your lost keep moving

The noisying moving around

If you can't lie no better

If you can't lie no better

If you can't lie no better that

You might as well tell the truth

You say you was gone with that girl from up the street

But I know better

She came here looking for you and she told me

You never met her

And you could be more discreet

With your love letters

And honey I smell some other man

All over you cashmere sweater

If you can't lie no better

If you can't lie no better

If you can't lie no better

You might as well tell the truth

If you can't lie no better

If you can't lie no better

If you can't lie no better than that

You might as well tell the truth

No better

If you can't lie no better

If you can't lie no better than that

You might as well tell the truth

Oh yeah tell the truth
