| [Chorus: En Vogue] Lies, lies, using lies as alibis Lies, lies, just a devil in disguise [Verse 1: Dawn Robinson] It's the same game Played in many ways Everyone is the victim too It's just a waste of time Made for simple minds So why do people insist on lies? [Pre-Chorus: Cindy Herron] I'll live my life a different way Refuse to let myself become a victim Getting caught up in a vicious web of lies [Chorus: En Vogue, Dawn Robinson] Lies (They can hurt you), lies (And destroy you) Using lies as alibis (Watch out for lies) Lies, lies (Lies), just a devil in disguise (Just a devil in disguise) [Verse 2: Dawn Robinson] The nation's leaders as well as teachers Practice lies as a way of life, yes they do So think before you speak 'Cause what you sow you reap The truth will always be brought to light [Pre-Chorus: Cindy Herron] Will we ever learn one day That telling lies will always lead to madness Misery and sometimes pain [Chorus: En Vogue, Cindy Herron] Lies, lies, using lies as alibis (Using lies as alibis) Lies, lies (Oh lies), just a devil in disguise (And it's made for simple minds) Lies (Yeah), lies (Lies), using lies as alibis (Made for simple minds) Lies, lies (You've got to think about it), just a devil in disguise (Those lies) [Verse 3: Debbie T] Lies and deceit, yes, it's running real rampant Communities suffering, yo, I can't stand it When we think of lies, we tend to think of politicians But what about the husband who's on a mission? Lying to his wife so he can get it on and get some Coming back home with a dumb expression Written on a face that's guilty as a criminal It's time to change your attitude People, do you hear me though? Listen, to a funky rhyme that's kickin' knowledge that we need We lie about our hair and we know we got a weave Politicians lie about the things they're gonna do And every lie the tell affects me and you A smoker lies about the money that he stole And a dope dealer never tells you how he got his gold I guess what Debbie T. is really tryna say When you break it all down, we're really all the same [Pre-Chorus: Cindy Herron] I'll live my life a different way Refuse to let myself become a victim Caught up in a vicious web of lies, oh [Chorus: En Vogue, Maxine Jones, Terry Ellis] Lies, lies (Oh), using lies as alibis (Using lies) Lies (You're lying), lies (Stop cheating), just a devil in disguise (Lie, lie, lie, lies) Lies, lies (Oh-oh), using lies as alibis (Oh yeah, they'll ruin your life) Lies (You better think twice), lies, just a devil in disguise (Stop hurting, deceiving, and telling your lies and, oh-oh-oh, ooh) Lies, lies, using lies as alibis Lies, lies, just a devil in disguise (Just a devil in disguise) Lies (Oh lies), lies (Evil little lies), using lies as alibis Lies, lies, just a devil in disguise |
