Lyrics
NEXT TIME LIE
Mary Haller
Wish I didn't know
Wish I hadn't asked
Wish I woulda turned away that day I saw you walking past
Instead I said hello
Asked you what was new
And whether you were seeing anyone -- and you told the truth
It don't change the fact that I still want you back
But if you see me again
Next time lie
Tell me there ain't nobody else
Next time try to keep your good news to yourself
Hide it from my heart, keep me in the dark
Don't look me in the eye
Next time lie
What should I have said
What should I have done
When you're sinking with a cannonball you've got no strength to turn and run
Instead I just froze up
Like I was in a dream
Said a few polite words that I'm sure you knew I didn't mean
I wish I'd had the sense to just smile and shake my head
I woulda gave you this advice
Next time lie
Tell me there ain't nobody else
Next time try to keep your good news to yourself
Hide it from my heart, keep me in the dark
Don't look me in the eye
Next time lie
Tell me you're sleepin' alone
Tell me you're missin' me at night
Tell me there's still a chance you'll be comin' back
Like I tell myself all the time, all the time
So next time, lie
Tell me there ain't nobody else
Next time try to keep your good news to yourself
Hide it from my heart, keep me in the dark
Don't look me in the eye
Just lie
Baby, next time lie
