“You Lie,” a song first cut by Cee Cee Chapman was Reba’s fourteenth number one country hit, and spent a total of twenty weeks on the country charts. This song is from the point of view of someone who knows their partner no longer loves them, and is grappling with whether they should play along with...
[Verse 1]
We lie in the dark I know you're awake
The only sounds are the sounds this old house makes
But, oh, how I long, I long to hear your voice
Desperate to talk, yearning to touch
Burning inside because I want you so much
So I say I need you and leave you no choice
[Chorus]
You lie you don't want to hurt me
So you lie, buy a little time, and I go along
What else can I do? Maybe it's wrong
But you know how much I love you
So you lie until you can find a way to say goodbye
You lie
[Verse 2]
How long until you just can't go on?
And the urge to break loose is just too strong
You should let go that's what you want to do
Oh, but you don't know, you don't know
If it's the right thing to do
[Chorus]
You lie you don't want to hurt me
So you lie, buy a little time, and I go along
What else can I do? Maybe it's wrong
But you know how much I love you
So you lie until you can find a way to say goodbye
You lie
