“Dear Lie” is the third and final single for FanMail. The song was a minor success, reaching the top forty in other countries and in the US, peaking at #51 on the Billboard Hot 100. This slow song is yet another poem-to-song written by T-Boz when she was in the hospital and is about how a lie can do...
[Verse 1: T-Boz]
Dear lie, you suck
You said you could fix anything
Instead I'm fucked
You made things even worse for me
If I had balls
I'd tell you "get away from me"
Guess I'm not smart
I let you unnerve me
I let you control me
Afraid that the truth would hurt me
When it's you that hurts me more
[Chorus]
Get outta my mouth
Get outta my hair
Get outta my mind
Stop puttin' words in my head
Get outta my mouth
You're nothing but trouble
Get outta my life
Get out of me
Out of me, out of me, out of me, lie
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
[Verse 2]
Dear lie, you're dumb
You think you've got the best of me
You think you've won
Misread my vulnerability
I've got your balls (I've got your balls)
Now get the hell away from me
I've learned your heart (I've learned your heart)
Won't let you unnerve me
Won't let you control me
The truth will only free me
And your lies won't hurt no, no more
[Chorus]
Get outta my mouth
Get outta my hair
Get outta my mind
Stop puttin' words in my head
Get outta my mouth
You're nothing but trouble
Get outta my life
Get out of me
Out of me, out of me, out of me, lie
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
[Bridge]
I've got your balls
Now get the hell away from me
I've learned your heart
Won't let you unnerve me
Won't let you control me
The truth will only free me
And your lies won't hurt, no, no more
[Chorus]
Get outta my mouth
Get outta my hair
Get outta my mind
Stop puttin' words in my head
Get outta my mouth
You're nothing but trouble
Get outta my life
Get out of me
Out of me, out of me, out of me, lie
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
[Outro]
Dear lie
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
Dear lie
Dear Lie was produced by Babyface.
Babyface liked this one because I was talking about a lie as if it were a person. My father used to lie all the time, so I absolutely despise liars. So I thought about what I would say if it was a person. I love the way it starts off vulnerable and then turns into a place of strength where you’re sa...
