Alessia Cara links up with distinguished rap producer Boi-1da – known for his work for fellow Canadian artist, Drake – on “Lie To Me.” Fitting for her songwriting style of frequent internal rhyming, she emanates over a breakbeat and zippy bass riff, all while violas compliment her background vocals....
[Intro]
Ba, ba-da-da-ba-ba
Ba-da-ba
Ba-ba, ba-da-ba
Ba-da-da-ba-ba
Ba-da-ba
[Verse 1]
Are you a nice guy or a wise guy?
Said it don't matter, I'm just your type
Sayin' all the right things, but don't lie
I got a feelin' the streets have eyes
From a mile, I can see 'em
Players can't ever believe 'em, uh
Do you want me or your freedom?
And those words, do you mean 'em?
[Pre-Chorus]
And they love to say I'm crazy
Suspicious and insecure
But, baby, can you blame me?
You know I've been hurt before
You love to say I'm crazy
Suspicious and insecure
But I'll show you crazy when you walk through the door
[Chorus]
I-I, you're not home and it's half-past three (I-I)
Where arе you when you're not with me? (I)
If you'rе with someone else, come clean
I-I'd rather be by myself than let you lie to me
[Post-Chorus]
Ah, let you lie to me
Ah, let you lie to me
Ah, let you lie to me
Ah, let you lie to me
[Verse 2]
Are you a nice guy or a wise guy?
Those brown eyes look a little too kind
Are you see-through or are your disguised?
Hittin' me up, say you're wanting FaceTime
You're talkin' 'bout love and a house with a view
You better slow down if you're not speakin' truth
You better watch out if that's how you move
I just might be onto you, oh-oh
[Pre-Chorus]
You love to say I'm crazy
Suspicious and insecure
But I'll show you crazy when you walk through the door
[Chorus]
I-I, you're not home and it's half-past three (I-I)
Where are you when you're not with me? Yeah (I)
If you're with someone else (Someone else), come clean (Come clean)
I-I'd rather be by myself than let you lie to me
[Post-Chorus]
Ah, let you lie to me
Ah, let you lie to me
Ah, let you lie to me
Ah, let you lie to me
[Outro]
Ba, ba-da-da-ba-ba
Ba-da-ba
Ba-ba, ba-da-ba
Ba-da-da-ba-ba
Ba-da-ba
Ba-da-ba
Ba, ba-da-da-ba-ba
Ba-da-ba
Ba-ba, ba-da-ba
Ba-da-da-ba-ba
Ba-da-ba
Ba-da-ba

“I wrote this song about my friend and the relationship that she was in…while I’m talking in the first person, I’m actually speaking about my friend’s situation…we got into this conversation about how we will not be fooled by any man or anyone, we’d much rather be alone.”
