(spoken)
Hey.
You there.
Tell me I'm the one who sets your world on fire.
Say that I'm the only one that you desire.
Lie to me.
(singing in a minor key)
Hey.
You on the street.
Say that I'm the kind of girl you'd like to meet.
Tell me I make you tingle from your head down to your feet.
Lie to me.
(up tempo)
Tell me that you love me.
Tell me that you care.
Tell me that you need me
Like you need the air.
I know that it's a lie
But it's what I need to hear
To make it through the night
When the Wolf is at my ear.
Hey.
You there.
Lie to me.
(instrumental bridge; key change upward; faster tempo )
Feel like I've been lied to all my whole life
Don't see why that should change even now
Never gonna get to be someone's wife
So lie and say I make your heart go "wow!"
(spoken)
Because even cows get milked once in a while...
(back to original key)
Hey.
You at the bar.
Wanna take me home in your fancy car?
You can even hit me -- it won't leave a scar.
Just lie to me.
Hey.
You on the phone.
Won't you please throw a dog a fucking bone?
All I know is I don't wanna be alone.
Lie, lie to me.
Tell me that you love me.
Tell me that you care.
Tell me that you need me
Like you need the air.
I know that it's a lie
But it's what I need to hear
To make it through the night
When the Wolf is at my ear.
Hey.
You there.
Lie to me.
(fade out)
(spoken; no music; original tempo)
Hey.
You there.
Lie to me.
Ok, I really like this, then again, I like to listen to music to intentional depress myself =)
ReplyDeleteI could see this as a country song or sung by somebody like Cheryl Crow or the like.
Flawless. I'd like to hear this produced someday, honestly. I'm not good at making up music in my head, it'd be interesting to see what you'd choose over what I hear in my brain.
ReplyDeleteVery cool. I'd sing it. Heck, I'll record it. Put it to music.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing I was a little iffy on was "make my heart go 'wow'"...
