JAMES TAYLOR - I Was Only Telling a Lie lyrics

rate me

Got the one room suite in the downtown motel

Got a lovely view

Classic shot of the parking lot

An off ramp of route 72

Half flat six pack of lukewarm beer

So lay down by my side

Like to whisper sweet nothings in my filthy ear

'Til I'm satisfied

Baby-bootie, juicy-fruity, truck-stop cutie, roadside-beauty

I'm in love with you

Hope it don't last too long

You got the mackerel eyes

Brought the side of fries

You got me hypnotized

I'm in love again

Now baby when I told you that

I love you

I was only telling a lie

I'll be long gone come the crack of dawn

And I believe the word is

Good-bye, bye baby, bye, bye

I was only telling a lie

There ain't no need to act like I

Shot your dog, no

I was only telling a lie

Lie, lie, lie, lie...
