Why do people lie?
Lying only breaks their hearts
And tears their lives apart
Making them 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 loving you anyway
So while you keep believing it brother
She'll keep making her time
Right before your eyes
Tell me why they gotta lie

[Chorus x2]
When I looked I had to look again
In my eyes a revelation
In her arms the fascination
Of a friend

Now I let them know
When people say I told you so
I say, learning don't come easy, baby
I've been making 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 lying 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
