Why do people lie?
Lyin' only breaks their hearts,
And tears their lives apart,
Makin' 'em cry
Tell me why

Even if I try,
Even if I lie to little babe
I know she'll never leave me,
She'll stay by my side

Tell me why do the people say,
"She ain't lovin' you anyway
So while you keep believin' it brother,
She'll keep makin' her time,
Right before your eyes"?
Tell me why they gotta lie

When I looked I had to look again
In my eyes a revelation
In her arms the fascination,
Of a friend

(Instrumental)

When I looked I had to look again
In my eyes a revelation
In her arms the fascination,
Of a friend

Now I let 'em know,
When people say "I told you so"
I say, "Learnin' don't come easy, baby",
I've been makin' like a fool

Tell me why,
Why is it true?
Why?
Tell me why do people lie?

Tell me why
Why do they lie?
Oh, why do they lie?
Tell me, tell me why
Why do people lie to me
Somebody here is lyin' to me
I just don't know whether to believe them,
Whether to give them an account,
To form a doubt, don't want to be counted out
Follow your heart, babe,
Follow your heart, yeah,
Follow your heart, right on,
Follow your heart
