Here you come draggin' in 
Three  again 
Grinnin' that silly grin 
Smellin' just like sin 
Holdin' up that alibi that's tissue paper thin 
Diggin' down deeper and deeper 
In that hole you're already in 
If you can't lie no better 
If you can't lie no better 
If you can't lie no better than that, 
You might as well tell the truth 
I know you been foolin' around 
With some fool from way 'cross town 
You're tearin' our good thing down 
Makin' me out your clown 
Lookin' for excuses that you know can't be found 
If you can't lie no better 
If you can't lie no better 
If you can't lie no better than that, 
You might as well tell the truth 
You say you was gone with that girl from up the street 
But I know better 
She called here lookin' for you and she told me 
Said you never met her 
And you could be more discreet 
With your love letters 
And honey I smell some other man 
All over you cashmere sweater 
If you can't lie no better 
If you can't lie no better 
If you can't lie no better 
If you can't lie not better than that 
If you can't lie no better 
If you can't lie no better 
If you can't lie no better than that, 
You might as well tell the truth
