Why do People Lie

Why do people lie?
Lyin' only breaks their hearts
And tears their lives apart
Makin' 'em cry
Tell me why

Even if I try
Even if I lie to little babe
I know she'll never leave me
She'll stay by my side

Tell me why do the people say
"She ain't lovin' you anyway
So while you keep believin' it brother
She'll keep makin' her time
Right before your eyes."?
Tell me why they gotta lie

When I looked I had to look again
In my eyes a revelation
In her arms the fascination
Of a friend

When I looked I had to look again
In my eyes a revelation
In her arms the fascination
Of a friend

Now I let 'em know
When people say "I told you so."
I say, "Learnin' don't come easy, baby."
I've been makin' like a fool

Tell me why
Why is it true?
Why?
Tell me why do people lie?

Tell me why
Why do they lie?
Oh, why do they lie?
Tell me, tell me why
Why do people lie to me
Somebody here is lyin' to me
I just don't know whether to believe them
Whether to give them an account
To form a doubt, don't want to be counted out
Follow your heart, babe
Follow your heart, yeah
Follow your heart, right on
Follow your heart
