Album: Gimme Some (2011)

  • You were such a fan of me, now I've made our history
    Look like a burnt-out fag, yes I stabbed you in the back
    And I always did believe that you and me would always be
    But now I've ruined all
    'Cause I can't tell lies
    No, I can't tell lies to you

    My body's taking over me, what's now gonna set me free?
    My eyes are dim, I can barely see
    My legs are lind and my knees are weak
    And that pair of loving arms that can contain me all around
    You just don't possess
    And I can't tell lies, no I can't tell lies
    So I can't tell lies to you

    Now I'm lying under the snow, someone puts a glove in my mouth
    I'm choking, close to throwing up, what's now gonna pick me up?
    Listen
    Gutterguy complaining, when it's you who's really drowning
    My only true love that I ever did have, I sent you down to hell
    'Cause I can't tell lies, no I can't tell lies
    So I can't tell lies to you Writer/s: BERNIE TAUPIN, ELTON JOHN
