It ain't complicated
Well, I've grown to hate it
I never liked the taste of crow
But baby I ate it
They tried to warn me
They said that you were ornery
So don't bring me those big brown eyes
And tell me that you're sorry
Well you might as well throw gasoline on a fire

The way you lie
You lie like a priceless Persian rug
On a rich man's floor
And you lie like a coon dog basking
In the sunshine on my porch
Well you lie like a penny in a parking
Lot at the grocery store
It just comes way too natural to you
The way you lie

That ain't my perfume, I bet she had a curfew
You told me you were out with the boys and
Baby I believed you
So why you lookin' so nervous
You know you kind of deserve this
I ought to kill you right now
And do the whole wide world a service
Well my daddy's gonna straighten you out
Like a piece of wire, like a piece of wire

The way you lie
You lie like the man with the slick back hair
Who sold me that Ford
Yeah you lie like a pine tree in the back yard
After last month's storm
Well you lie like a penny in a parking lot at
The grocery store
It just comes way too natural to you
The way you lie

Well I tell you what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna drive to the big old muddy river
I'm gonna park my car in the middle of the
Mile-long bridge
And there I'm gonna cry
Well maybe just a little
Then I'm gonna slip off the ring
That you put on my finger
And give it a big old fling and watch it sink
Down, down, down
And there it's gonna lie until the Lord
Comes back around

Because you lie like a priceless Persian rug on
A rich man's floor
You lie like a coon dog basking
In the sunshine on my porch
Well you lie like a penny in a parking
Lot at the grocery store
It just comes so dang natural to you
The way you lie

The way you lie
Well it's what you do, it's who you are
