  • Yeah
    Uh, huh
    La, da, da, da, da
    Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry

    Hey, baby my nose is getting big
    I noticed it be growing when I been telling them fibs
    Now you say your trust's gettin' weaker
    Probably 'cause my lies just started gettin' deeper
    And the reason for my confession is that I learn my lesson
    And I really think you have to know the truth
    Because I lied and I cheated and I lied a little more
    But after I did it I don't know what I did it for
    I admit that I have been a little immature
    With your heart like I was the pre-da-tor
    In my book of lies I was the editor
    And the author
    I forged my signature
    And now I apologize for what I did to ya
    'Cause what you did to me I did to you

    No, no, no, no baby, no, no, no, no don't lie
    No, no, no, no, yeah you know, know, know, know you gotta try
    What you gonna do when it all comes out
    When I'm here to see you, what you're all about
    No, no, no, no baby, no, no, no, no don't lie
    Yeah you know, know, know, know, you gotta try (stop, st-st-stop, st-st-stop lying)

    She said I'm leaving
    'Cause she can't take the pain
    It's hard to continue this love it ain't the same
    Can't forget the things that I've done inside her brain
    Too many lies committed too many games
    She feeling like a fool getting on the last train
    Tryin' to maintain but the feeling won't change
    I'm sorry for the things that I've done and what I became
    Caught up in living my life in the fast lane
    Blinded by lights, cameras, you know the fame
    I don't know the reason why I did these things

    And I lie and I lie
    And I lie and I lie

    And now our emotions are drained
    'Cause I lie and I lie and a little lie lie
    And now your emotions are drained

    No, no, no, no baby, no, no, no, no don't lie (no don't you lie)
    No, no, no, no, yeah you know, know, know, know you gotta try (you gotta try, gotta try)
    What you gonna do when it all comes out (what you gonna do baby)
    When I'm here to see you, what you're all about
    No, no, no, no baby, no, no, no, no don't lie
    Because you know, know, know, know, you gotta try

    Ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh
    Ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh
    Ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh
    Ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh
    Ba da, ba da, ba da, ba da, badabada, badabada, badabada, badabada
    Ba da, ba da, ba da, ba da, badabada, badabada, badabada, badabada

    Yo, I'm lying to my girl
    Even though I love her
    And she all in my world
    I give her all my attention and diamonds and pearls
    She's the one who makes me feel on top of the world
    Still I lie to my girl, I do it

    And I lie and I lie and I lie (and then I lie) 'til there's no turning back
    I don't know why, and I lie and I lie 'til I don't know who I am

    No, no, no, no baby, no, no, no, no don't lie (don't you lie)
    No, no, no, no, yeah you know, know, know, know you gotta try (you know, you know, you gotta)
    What you gonna do when it all comes out
    When I'm here to see you, what you're all about
    No, no, no, no baby, no, no, no, no don't lie
    No, no, no babe, no, no, no, no (stop, st-st-stop, st-st-stop lying) Writer/s: Allan Pineda, Chris Peters, Drew Peters, Jaime Gomez, Ricky Walters, Stacy Ferguson, Will Adams
