Emmylou Harris Telling Me Lies Lyrics

Telling Me Lies Lyrics

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

You 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 right to your door

I cover my ears...

[ strings ]

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 cover my ears...

I cover my ears...
