People Lie - JJ Cale

Well, you can talk to the governor, talk to a prince

Talk to a preacher or the president

Some people lie, some people lie and deceive

When they say one thing, they mean something else completely

I had me a woman, love me to the end

Two days later she was with another man

Some people lie, some people lie and deceive

But sometime later, they’ll get theirs, yes sirree

Well, I bought me a new car, a lemon, no doubt

The wheels fell off, the salesman he was out

People lie, people lie and deceive

When they say one thing, they mean something else completely

The bottom line, you understand

When some people talk, you can’t believe what they’re saying

People lie, people lie and deceive

When they say one thing, they mean something else completely
