I wish I could have seen
your face when you told me
"I love you"
I just know you were winkng
at the girl all dressed in blue
and when you said
what pretty legs I had
at that dinner party that night
you were playing tootsies
with that woman on your right
you said I was the only one
then wasn't that I saw
those two women clinging to you
back in Saginaw
You promised me you'd pay me back
if to you I'd loan
a portion of my savings
so you could build a home
for us to live and raise some babes
I knew something was oh, so wrong
when you called me from Rome
I hate to say this to you
but, I don't believe a word you say
that business deal that fell in Rome
was just another way
of telling me another whopper
so you could once again prey
on this old fool who really cared
but, you are just a liar
so carry on your way
until you're caught by someone's son
who grabs you by the throat
and that living, lying tongue
flies out from his frenzied choke

Mix them up,
And tell me which is which.
Then within
Lies, lies, fingers in pies
You just can't admit it, your high as a kite
Your bubbling and brooding will get you nowhere
Something happened
Something did
I should
But I don't regret it
Other people were there
Other people know
One of them told her
They

layer upon layer
of silver lined lies
we wrap our love
in an intricate
lace-patterned cloak
of deceit
and slowly
it
I wish I could have seen
your face when you told me
"I love you"
I just know you were winkng
at the girl all dressed in
