The Lie- W Ross Campbell (SOCAN)     Vs I"Why, tell me why won't you take me along?" I heard a young man callHe was speaking to a woman in a taxi-cab 'N' for a minute she said nothing at allBut the woman wasn't crying, just shaking her head---you could tell she was saying goodbyeThen she turned and she looked right into his face & said "You never should have told me no lie!"​   (Chor)For a lie is for someone you don't really know or for whom you just don't careAny lover of mine's gotta tell me the truth---if he lies, I don't wanna be thereYes a lie is for a stranger or an enemy or a person who's putting you onBut you lied to the woman who was sharing your bed, & for that I'll be moving along​      Vs IIWell the man said "Baby, you can't leave now---I don't know what I'd doI only lied for the sake of our love and I really do love you!"But the woman smiled hard and tapped on the glass & the taxi started rolling awayShe said "What kind of fool do you take me for? That's a stupid thing to say!"     (Chor)         (Bridge)Would you lie to your brother when he's counting on you or your friend who's standing by?You don't lie to your helper, or your Mother who taught you not to lieYou wouldn't lie to a blind man or a person who'd helped you to seeSo why in the name of Sweet Love, Babe, did you have to lie to me?
