I know that love isn't all that we need,
But yes she is a fine thing.
I'm not as handsome a lover as others,
But somehow she finds me.
My heart is pulsing and bloody,
And beats for nobody specifically.
Your love is muddy and jaded,
Been played in fifty ways, deliver me...
Tell me your pretty lies.
(I can tell you mine, I can tell you mine, I
Can tell you lines)
Tell me your pretty lies.
(tell me what I want, what I really want,
What I want to hear)

It could be white like the snow is,
Or dark like I know is a lover's heart
Whats been made a fool of,
But ain't it the fool that gets all of the
Lover's parts?
It's gettting hard to remember the lies from december,
You promised then
We needed lovin' so badly, we pretended that we had it when...
You told me those pretty lies
(I can tell you mine, I can tell you
Mine, I can tell you lines)
Tell me your pretty lies (tell me what I want, what I really want)

Wide awake, a long time coming.
We lie and wait, a long time coming
We're wide awake, a long time coming.
We lie and wait, a long time coming
We're wide awake, a long time coming,
We lie and wait a long time coming
It's been a long time coming...

Whoever believes that lovin' is free hasn't ever slept with me.
The birds and bees are our disease, contracted collectively.
And we're reborn in the morning
With no or little warning, lover please
Don't fall in love with me,
But if you think you might, it's alright, I wouldn't mind.
I heard this story from a couple friends of mine,
That you believe yourself, the very lies you tell
But don't I love it when you're spinning them,
I start in grinning when
I see you look up to the left, tell me
You want me like the oxygen in every breath

Say that I'm needed like the landlord on the 30th,
I don't believe you, but its still nice. your eyes tell mine...
Such pretty lies. tell me your pretty lies
(I can tell you mine, I can
Tell you mine, I can tell you lines) flash me those pretty eyes
(tell me what I want, what I really want, what I want to hear)
Your lies, lies, lies, lies, lies.
