Sweet Lies

Beres Hammond


Intro: 
Now Jack is the mack and he comes around every Monday, 
oh Tuesday and Wednesday, 
Every day of the week 
And even though I try to tell you that I love you from the bottom of my heart 
You had no place for me, 
It's all vanity now 

Chorus: 
You fell for one a them sweet lies 
The ones you don't want to believe in 
When your heart's not hearing 
What your brain is saying 
And you're weak in the knees 
Another sweet lie 
The kind you don't want to believe 
When the heart's in doubt you got to stay out 

Verse 1: 
Now the wine and the roses 
Stop coming around sometime ago 
But you won't admit that so, you pretend 
I know it's hard to look your best 
Wearing that same old shabby dress 
So you stay at home, waiting by the phone 

Repeat Chorus 

Verse 2: 
Now it gives me no pleasure to say I told you so, 
It's been hard to keep it low 
Knowing the things I know 
Maybe in another place and in another time 
Under different circumstances 
You will find happiness, so I suggest 
Don't take foolish chances no 

Repeat Verse 3: 

Repeat Chorus
