Lie, Cheat, and Steal - Ron Pope

I wanna take us both to Amsterdam

Photograph statues in the park, wander the Red Light after dark

Laugh like little kids who should’ve known better

Inside voices, timezone lessons

Half a world away from where our problems are

You said «I won’t ask you to do anything that you don’t wanna do»

So I’d appreciate you thinking this thing through

And if you’re gonna lie, baby lie right in my arms

If you’re gonna cheat, let’s cheat death here in the dark

If you’re gonna steal, baby steal my breath away

You can lie, cheat and steal if you stay

I hold your silhouette

In the darkest corridors of my recalling

Said you don’t leave the ground no more, you’re scared of falling

But I remember you wrapped in my sweater

Messing up the words to «London Calling»

Walkin' back to your place in the morning

You said «I won’t ask you to do anything that you don’t wanna do»

So I’d appreciate you thinking this thing through

And if you’re gonna lie, baby lie right in my arms

If you’re gonna cheat, let’s cheat death here in the dark

If you’re gonna steal, baby steal my breath away

You can lie, cheat and steal if you stay

We’re running out of runway

And everybody knows it

I can hear what you say

But I’m asking you to show me

If you’re gonna lie, baby lie right in my arms

If you’re gonna cheat, let’s cheat death here in the dark

If you’re gonna steal, baby steal my breath away

You can lie, cheat and steal if you stay

You can lie, cheat and steal if you stay
