When we first met
I believed what you said
But I quickly discovered
I was being misled

I’ve learned how to tell
When you’re stretching the truth
It’s not a big mystery
I don’t need a sleuth

My method is simple
I’ll give you the tips
I just check to see
If you’re moving your lips

(Chorus)
Your relationship with the truth
Is casual at best
Though I bet you would ace
Any lie detector test
You firmly believe
The lies that you tell
Which is certainly why
You do it so well


I don’t really get
What motivates you?
To start telling tales
When you know they’re not true

Maybe it’s fun
To take folks for a ride?
Or it’s possible
That you’re just twisted inside

Reality isn’t
That boring these days
You should give it a shot
You might be amazed

(Chorus)
Your relationship with the truth
Is casual at best
Though I bet you would ace
Any lie detector test
You firmly believe
The lies that you tell
Which is certainly why
You do it so well


When your friends and colleagues
Distrust what you say
Consider the damage
You cause every day

The grain of salt
Has grown in size
To ten pounds and counting
To digest your lies

It may be exciting
Or a method to cope
But you need to correct things
While there’s still hope!

(Chorus)
Your relationship with the truth
Is casual at best
Though I bet you would ace
Any lie detector test
You firmly believe
The lies that you tell
Which is certainly why
You do it so well
