Telling Me Lies Lyrics by Dolly Parton

Telling Me Lies Lyrics

    They say a woman's a fool for weeping
    A fool to break her own heart
    But i can't hold the secret i'm keeping
    I'm breaking apart
    Can't seem to mind my own business
    Whatever i try turns out wrong
    I seem like my own false witness
    And i can't go on

    I cover my ears, i close my eyes
    Still hear your voice and it's telling me lies
    Telling me lies

    You told me you needed my company
    And i believed in your flattering ways
    You told me you needed me forever
    Nearly gave you the rest of my days

    Should've seen you for what you are
    Should never have come back for more
    Should've locked up all my silver
    Brought the key right to your door

    Repeat chorus

    You don't know what a chance is
    Until you have to seize one
    You don't know what a man is
    Until you have to please one

    Don't put your life in the hands of a man
    With a face for every season
    Don't waste your time in the arms of a man
    Who's no stranger to treason

    Repeat chorus
