Lyrics

Why'd you want to lie to me?
(Don't lie to me.)
Why'd you want to lie?
(Just tell the truth.)
Can you tell me why?
(Don't lie to me.)
(Oh, no.)
(Just tell the truth.)

You think you have to lie to me
(Don't lie to me.)
Just to save my wretched hide.
(Ooh, ooh, ooh.)
You think the secrets are too powerful
(Just too powerful)
That you must be my only guide.
(Ooh, ooh, ooh.)
Do you think that I'm too gullible?
(I'm too gullible.)
Perhaps my mind is just too weak.
(Ooh, ooh,ooh.)
That you dare not reveal anything
(Not a blessed thing.)
That could make my psyche creak.
(Ooh, no)
(Why'd you have to lie?)
(Why'd you wanna lie to me?)

You think you have to lie to me
(You lie to me.)
Just to save me from my mind.
(Ooh, ooh, ooh.)
Yet you bar me from enlightenment
(Enlightenment)
And try to prove that I am blind.
(Ooh, ooh, ooh.)
You think you have to hide the truth from me
(Hide the truth from me)
Because I just can't understand.
(Ooh, ooh, ooh.)
Still you need my co-operation
Before it all gets out of hand.
(Yeah, sing it)

(I doubt it) I doubt it
I doubt your exhortations
(I doubt it) I doubt it
I doubt you have the key.
(I doubt it) I doubt it
I doubt your fabrications.
(I doubt it) I doubt it
I doubt what you foresee.

You think you have to lie to me
(Why lie to me?)
Just to save the world from me.
(Ooh, ooh, ooh.)
When I ask you for hard evidence,
(Show me evidence.)
You say it's proof that I can't see.
(Ooh, ooh, ooh.)
And, now, because I don't believe you
You insist that I must die.
My contempt is all I owe to you
(Ooh, ooh, ooh.)
Because you felt you had to lie.
(Why'd you have to go and lie?)

(I doubt it) I doubt it
I doubt your motivation.
(I doubt it) I doubt it
I doubt the world you see.
(I doubt it) I doubt it
I doubt your strange fixation.
(I doubt it) I doubt it
I doubt your sanity.
(I doubt it) I doubt it
I doubt mankind's damnation.
(I doubt it) I doubt it
I doubt your veracity.
(I doubt it) I doubt it
I doubt your allegation.
(I doubt it) I doubt it
Because you lied to me.

(Why'd you go and lie to me?)
(Why'd you lie to me?)
(I can't help you if you lie to me)
(Why'd you go and lie to me?)
(Can you tell the truth, now?)
(Why'd you have to lie to me)
(Why'd you wanna lie?
Why you've gotta lie to me?)
(Whooh, yeah)
(Why'd you have to go and lie to me?)
(I doubt your motivation!
I doubt the world you see!)
(Why'd you lie to me. Oh.)
(Ain't no reason to lie.)
(Oh, no, no no.)
(Oh, no, no, no.)
(Oh, no, no, no, woh, woh.)
(Uh)
(Baby, don't you lie,
Baby, don't you lie,
Baby, don't you lie to me.)
(Can you tell me why now,
Why you gotta lie?)
(Please, tell the truth now.)
(Ain't no reason to lie.)
