Boyz 2 Men - I Shoulda Lied lyrics

rate me

I probably should have told her the sky was falling

Or maybe that my car ran out guess

My grandma was sick and i had to leave town right away

I don’t care

Tell one more to fix the last one

But i never get back to the truth

Thinking to myself she will never find out that’s what we do, that’s how we do

I wonder what she really thinks of me

Should I really tell her everything?

But it’s too late can’t take it back

She’ll never look at me the same way again, no

Chorus:

I shoulda lied, ‘cause the truth made her set me free

And now goodbye, is more than just a word

My honesty just became my enemy

Maybe a lie now made things right this time, shoulda lied, shoulda lied

Shoulda say it was the end of the word

Now sadly it’s my reality

Would she stay if i said i only had one day left, stay with me

Please don’t leave

I wonder what she really thinks of me

I wish i would have never said a think

But it’s too late for that, i don’t think she’s coming back

And i’ll never look the truth the same again

Chorus:

I shoulda lied, ‘cause the true made her set me free

And now goodbye, is more than just the word

My honesty just became my enemy

Maybe a lie would have made things right this time, shoulda lied, shoulda lied

Now i’m tryin hard to convince my heart

That everything will be ok

She said she'd never leave

Now just can’t believe she’s gone and now i’m no one.

[Chorus:]

Promised myself next time i won’t tell the truth

‘cause if i knew what i knew right now i'd still be with you

I shoulda lied, shoulda lied, shoulda lied, shoulda lied.
