verse 1 . Some lie about who they love . Some lie about the truth . Some lie to save their lives . Some lie about their youth verse 2 . Some lie about age and beauty . The conquest of sex . Most lie about the night before A woman lies for a party dress Pre-Chorus . I've lied for a stolen moment . I've lied for one more clue . I've lied about most everything But I never lied to you And we lie, lie, lie on a streetcar named desire Oh we lie, lie, lie for that sweet bird of youth I could be great like Tennessee Williams If I could only hear somethin' that sounds like the truth verse 3 . Some lie in the face of death . Some lie about their fame . Some kneel and lie to God . Some lie about their name verse 4 . Some lie in words and speeches . With every living breath . The young lie with their guitars . The old lie for a little respect Pre-Chorus . I've lied to lie with danger . I've lied for a drug or two . I've lied about most everything But I never lied to you And we lie, lie, lie on a streetcar named desire Oh we lie, lie, lie for that sweet bird of youth I could be great like Tennessee Williams If I could only hear somethin' that sounds like the Bridge truth Pre-Chorus . I've lied for a stolen moment . I've lied for one more clue . I've lied about most everything But I never lied to you And we lie, lie, lie on a streetcar named desire Oh we lie, lie, lie for that sweet bird of youth I could be great like Tennessee Williams If I could only hear somethin' that sounds like the truth Outro truth
