Pretty Lies - The Dudes

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, she beats for nobody specifically

Your love is muddy and jaded, been played in fifty ways, deliver me

Tell me your pretty lies (I could tell you mine, I could tell you mine,

I could 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 getting 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 your pretty lies (I could tell you mine, I could tell you mine,

I could tell you lines)

Sell 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 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 it’s still nice

Your eyes tell mine such pretty lies

Tell me your pretty lies (I could tell you mine, I could tell you mine,

I can tell you lines)

Well 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
