Letra de Why I Lie - Liz Phair

If you ask me why I lied to you
I couldn't tell you
I don't know myself
It's amazingly dishonest
But I'd have to recognize it as part of myself

Straighten up
Why can't you straighten up
I've heard you tell me this so many times

It doesn't even stick
I get it all the time
I get it all the time
You know I love to make a joke of it

And if you ask me why I hurt you
I don't understand it
I can't help myself
It's a special combination

Of predatory instinct and simple ill will

I would give some thought to it
If I thought that it might do me some good
Some good

Straighten up
Why can't you straighten up
You always say I'll lose control of it

And thirty is not too old

Well mama I would give some thought to it
If I thought that it might do me some good
Some good
Some good
Some good
