Outright Lies - 88 Fingers Louie

I try my best to reach perfection

And all I get is more rejection

I wanna know what you’re about

It’s nice to know

Someone’s out there asking

But what’s it worth

When it’s all you’re telling?

I think it’s you I’ve finally figured out

Those outright lies you’ve said

Are knocking me down

What’s left to do

When your life’s turned upside down?

I’ve gotten crap from all who know me

If you speak truth

Then you need to show me

You can’t expect me

To just nod my head and smile

Cuz ignorance is not my style

As my false pride gets in the way

I start believing all you say

I cross my fingers all the while

I’m running in a different race

I’m out of time and out of place

I play the sucker all the time

I simply can’t make up my mind

Whoever I choose to believe

Who says they won’t stand up and leave

And who’ll be waiting next in line

Won’t you give me another sign?

Turn it upside down (4x)
