Telling Me Lies Lyrics - Linda Ronstadt

written by Linda Thompson and Betty Cook

They say a woman's a fool for weeping 

A fool to break her own heart 

But I can't hold the secret I'm keeping 

I'm breaking apart 

Can't seem to mind my own business 

Whatever I try turns out wrong 

I seem like my own false witness 

And I can't go on 

I cover my ears I close my eyes 

Still hear your voice and it's telling me lies 

Telling me lies 

You told me you needed my company 

And I believed in your flattering ways 

Told me you needed me forever 

Nearly gave you the rest of my days

Should've seen you for what you are 

Should never have come back for more 

Should've locked up all my silver 

Brought the key back to your door 

I cover my ears I close my eyes 

Still hear your voice and it's telling me lies 

Telling me lies 

You don't know what a chance is 

Until you have to seize one 

You don't know what a man is 

Until you have to please one 

Don't put your life in the hands of a man 

With a face for every season 

Don't waste your time in the arms of a man 

Who's no stranger to treason 

I cover my ears I close my eyes 

Still hear your voice and it's telling me lies 

Telling me lies

I cover my ears I close my eyes 

Still hear your voice and it's telling me lies 

I cover my ears I close my eyes 

Still hear your voice and it's telling me lies
