Sweet little lies
Written all across your face
Speak to me my darling
Let me watch you fall from grace
You’re a pleasure
And you’re a fraud
Wouldn’t want it any other day
The words that leave your lips
Are not what you meant to say
You’ll know I’ll listen
You’ll know I’ll hear
Where you’re involved
You know I’m a pushover my dear
I’ll give you all my money
All I have I share
All I ask in return
Is some tenderness and care
You give me just enough
To come back knocking on your door
I’m waiting for you to let me in
Like a thousand times before
So speak to me my darling
Do not forsake me anymore
Keep me in your open arms
Let me walk right through your door
