Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown - Lie No Better lyrics

Here you come draggin' in Three a.m. again Grinnin' that silly grin Smellin' just like sin Holdin' up that alibi that's tissue paper thin Diggin' down deeper and deeper In that hole you're already in If you can't lie no better If you can't lie no better If you can't lie no better than that, You might as well tell the truth I know you been foolin' around With some fool from way 'cross town You're tearin' our good thing down Makin' me out your clown Lookin' for excuses that you know can't be found If you can't lie no better If you can't lie no better If you can't lie no better than that, You might as well tell the truth You say you was gone with that girl from up the street But I know better She called here lookin' for you and she told me Said you never met her And you could be more discreet With your love letters And honey I smell some other man All over you cashmere sweater If you can't lie no better If you can't lie no better If you can't lie no better If you can't lie not better than that If you can't lie no better If you can't lie no better If you can't lie no better than that, You might as well tell the truth
