[Verse 1]
Let's talk it over, baby, 'fore we start
I heard about the way you overdo your part
But don't you lie to me, don't you lie to me
It makes me mad and I get evil as a man can be
[Verse 2]
There's two kind-a people I just can't stand
And that's a lyin' woman and a sneakin' man
But don't you lie to me, don't you lie to me
Because it makes me mad and I get evil as a man can be
[Verse 3]
Here's a proposition I will give to you
I'll give you all my jelly if you gimme yours, too
But don't you lie to me, don't you lie to me
Because it makes me mad and I get evil as a man can be
[Kazoo Solo]
[Verse 4]
I'll be with you till the cows come home
But mama, please don't let me catch you gettin' down wrong
And don't you lie to me, don't you lie to me
Because it makes me mad and I get evil as a man can be
[Kazoo Solo]
[Outro]
But don't you lie to me, don't you lie to me
Because it makes me mad and I get evil as a man can be
