New Edition - That's Why I Lied lyrics

[Intro] Listen up ma I got something to tell you [Verse 1] Theres no kiss from you when I'm leavin in the moring Theres no roses for you when I know I hurt your feelings Don't know what happened to us girl I never saw it comin How did love go down hill I think I know why cheatin meant fear [Brige 1] I hit the bar by a drink Sippin slow just to think That a star would think go cheat She said it looks like you need a friend The lonely girl is knocking let me in We can leave in delay Take my mind off this pain Do golden things in the mariot suite Tell wifey that I might be workin Hope I never have to say I lied [Chorus] To keep my six To keep my house to still be here to work things out To find some way babe To make it up to you Thats why I lied To keep your health To keep your kin To still be here to raise our kids To keep my ring babe I couldn't tell the truth [Verse 2] I'm so nervous these days Got a feelings she'll be calling I know hurt is on the way When I dream of angels falling Theres no perfect way to say That my values to you were brokin Who is that on the phone (hello) Let me explain before you go [Bridge 2] I hit the bar by a drink Sippin slow just to think That a star would think go cheat She said it looks like you need a friend The lonely girl is knocking let her in Whatever no delay Take my mind off this pain Do golden things on the mariot suite I know I said that I was working late But you found out today I lied [Chorus] [Verse 3] From the moment I heard you say you leavin (to go) It was the words I though couldn't happen fa sho I'm already missin your lovin and laughter The moring after It's not a whole with out you here I swear I learn my lesson babe [Chorus] [Outro] Strickly for the ladies My black sistas Strickly for the ladies
