I Lied to You (Radio Edit)

[Verse 1]
Something I been wanting to tell you for a long time
It might hurt you, hope you don't lose your mind
Well, I was just a boy, 'bout eight years old
You threw me a Bible on that Mississippi road
See, I love ya, Papa, you did all you could do
They say the truth hurts, so I lied to you
Yes, I lied to you
I love the blues

[Interlude]
Mm-mm
Oh, mm-mm

[Chorus]
Somebody take me in your arms tonight, alright
Somebody take me in your arms tonight
Oh, mm-mm
Somebody take me in your arms tonight

[Verse 2]
I hope you can stand it, stand it all
What I'm out here doing, you didn't preach at all
See, I'm full of the blues, holy water too
I know the truth hurts, so I lie to you
So preach on, speak your words
I know the truth hurts
So, I lied to you
Yes, I lied to you
I love the blues
I love the blues

[Outro]
Well, somebody take me in your arms tonight, alright
Well, somebody please take me in your arms tonight

Somebody take me in your arms tonight
Mm, mm
