(matraca berg/angelo)

should´ve known you´d come around
did your conscience bother you?
well, i guess i forgive you now, but that´s all that i can do
ain´t nothing lonely as the truth
chorus: you should´ve lied to me baby

you should´ve tried just a little bit harder now baby
you see my pride has been talking to me lately
and you can´t come back, you can never come back
i won´t stand another woman
you should´ve lied
you overestimated me
thinking i would understand
believing that your honesty
would make me see a bigger man
was that all part of your plan

(repeat chorus twice)

you should´ve lied
you should´ve lied to my baby
you should have lied

(repeat chorus)
