Lyric for an mid- to up-tempo soul/blues song

————

Verse 1: Tell me you love me

Tell me you care

Say you won’t leave me

You always will be there

Pre-Chorus: Oh, tell me lies

Tell me, tell me pretty lies

Chorus: Tell me I’m the sun

Who lights up your grey skies

And if it ain’t true

Tell me, tell me pretty lies

Verse 2: Say I’m the one babe

Who you adore

As you are walking

Right on out the door

Pre-Chorus: Tell me lies

Tell me, tell me pretty lies

Chorus: Say you’ll be back when

You really mean goodbye

Yeah, if it ain’t true

Tell me, tell me pretty lies

Bridge: Tell me those things, baby

Just what I need

Give me some hope, baby

Don’t make me plead

Just soothing words, baby

That things are right

And if it’s gonna hurt, babe

Well, tell me pretty lies

Verse 3: Don’t make things harder

Don’t make things tough

Let me down easy, baby

When you’ve had enough

Pre-Chorus: Tell me lies

Tell me, tell me pretty lies

Chorus: Whisper sweet nothings

Oh, all the facts deny

Yeah, if it ain’t true

Tell me, tell me pretty lies
