Lyrics
Tell me that you love me
Even though you don't
I really need your help
For just one night
It's been a long long time
Since someone said that she was mine
A little lie from you
Would make things right
The way you lie for me
Could be the sweetest charity
The way you lie for me
Could make a man who's aching'
Just a little bit less forsaken
Lie for me
Look at me with those eyes
And walk the way you do
The way that makes the boys
Go through the roof
Wrap your arms around me
Just as if your love had found me
I promise I will never ask for proof
The way you lie for me
Could be the sweetest charity
The way you lie for me
Could make a man who's aching'
Just a little bit less forsaken
Lie for me
Take me to your mansion
The one up on the hill
The one that everybody wants to see
Take me to your heart-shaped bed
The one I carry in my head
And show me how you're
Gonna lie for me
The way you lie for me
Could be the sweetest charity
The way you lie for me
Could make a man who's aching'
Just a little bit less forsaken
Lie for me
