Stephin Merritt‘98 Lovers’ Lies Lyrics
Lovers' lies, lovers' lies
They should make us roll our eyes
Oh, if only we were wise!
We'd be lonelier, and wise
Lovers' words, lovers' words
They are strictly for the birds
A strong sense of the absurd's
No defense from lovers' words
Every word you say
Every word you sigh
Every word a lie
Every word you crow
Every word you cry

Lovers' truth, lovers' truth
Heard in every buddy booth
When we're longer in the tooth
Mothers' milk is lovers' truth
Lovers' lies, lovers' lies
They are only lullabies
Please remind me to devise
A sound to drown out lovers' lies
