  • Yeah
    Uh huh
    La da da da da

    Sorry sorry sorry sorry
    Hey, baby my nose is getting big
    I noticed it be growing when I been telling them fibs
    Now you say your trust's gettin' weaker
    Probably 'cos my lies just started gettin' deeper
    And the reason for my confession is that I learn my lesson
    And I really think you have to know the truuth
    Because I lied and I cheated and I lied a little more
    But after I did it I don't know what I did it for
    I admit that I have been a little immature
    Fucking with your heart like I was the pre-da-tor
    In my book of lies I was the editor
    And the author
    I forged my signature
    And now I apologize for what I did to ya
    'Cos what you did to me I did to you

    Nononono baby, nononono don't lie
    Nononono, yeah you kno kno kno know you gotta try
    What you gonna do when it all comes out
    When I see you & what you're all about
    Nonono babe, nononono don't lie
    Yeah you kno kno kno know you gotta try

    She said I'm leaving
    'Cos she can't take the pain
    It's hard to continue this love it ain't the same
    Can't forget the things that I've done inside her brain
    Too many lies committed too many games
    She feeling like a fool getting on the last train
    Tryin' to maintain but the feeling won't change
    I'm sorry for the things that I've done and what I became
    Caught up in living my life in the fast lane
    Blinded by lights, cameras, you know the fame
    I don't know the reason why I did these things

    And I lie and I lie
    And I lie and I lie

    And now our emotions are drained
    'Cos I lie and I lie and a little lie lie
    And now your emotions are drained

    Nononono baby, nononono don't lie
    Nononono, yeah you kno kno kno know you gotta try
    What you gonna do when it all comes out
    When I see you & what you're all about
    Nonono babe, nononono don't lie
    Yeah you kno kno kno know you gotta try

    Ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh
    Ba da ba da ba da ba da badabada

    Yo, I'm lying to my girl
    Even though I love her
    And she all in my world
    I give her all my attention and diamonds & pearls
    She's the one who makes me feel on top of the world
    Still I lie to my girl, I do it

    And I lie and I lie and I lie 'til there's no turning back
    I don't know why, and I lie and I lie 'til I don't know who I am

    Nononono baby, nononono don't lie
    Nononono, yeah you kno kno kno know you gotta try
    What you gonna do when it all comes out
    When I see you & what you're all about
    Nonono babe, nononono don't lie
    Yeah you kno kno kno know you gotta try Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
