Telling the truth, that would be keen;
Distorting the facts, now that's mean.

You woud be bitten, if a fib was a snake;
Death by a viper, that would be your fate.
Your lips say one thing, but reality is in the eyes;
In the end, karma will catch up to your lies.

"I love you"
I just know you were winkng
at the girl all dressed in
