Sweet Lies

Beres Hammond

Another big wheel turning
As di big wheel coming, oh God

Now Jack is the mack and he comes around every Monday
All Tuesday and Wednesday
Every day of the week
And even though I try to tell you that I love you
From the bottom of my heart
You had no place for me
It's all vanity now

You fell for one a them sweet lies (sweet lies)
The kind you doubt still you want to believe (sweet lies)
When the heart's not hearing
What the brain is saying
And you're weak in the knees
Another sweet lie (sweet lie)
The kind you doubt still you want to believe (sweet lie)
When the heart's in doubt you got to stay out

Now the wine and the roses
Stop coming around sometime ago
But you won't admit that so, you pretend
I know it's hard to look your best
Wearing that same old shabby dress
So you stay at home, waiting by the phone

For another dem sweet lies (sweet lies)
The kind you doubt still you want to believe (sweet lies)
When the heart's not hearing
What the brain is saying
And you're weak in the knees
Another sweet lie (sweet lie)
The kind you doubt still you want to believe now (sweet lie)
When the heart's in doubt you should know to stay out

Now it gives me no pleasure to say
I told you so (I told you so)
It's been hard to keep it low
Knowing the things I know
Maybe in another place and in another time
Under different circumstances
You will find happiness so I suggest
Don't take foolish chances no

When you see big wheel coming
Another big wheel turning

Now the wine and the roses
Stop coming around sometime ago
But you won't admit that so, you pretend
It's hard to look your best
Wearing that same old shabby dress
So you stay at home, waiting by the phone

For another dem sweet lies (sweet lies)
The kind you doubt still you want to believe (sweet lies)
When the heart's not hearing
What the brain is saying
And you're weak in the knees
Another sweet lie (sweet lie)
The kind you doubt still you want to believe now (sweet lie)
When the heart's in doubt you, know to stay out

Another sweet lie (sweet lie)
Sweet lie (sweet lie)
Now Jack's on the corner
Flirting with another
And your life is over, now

(Sweet lies, sweet lies)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

Maybe in another place (sweet lie)
and in another time
Under different circumstances (sweet lie)
You will find happiness
So I suggest, don't take foolish chances

Believing in sweet lies (sweet lies)
The one you doubt but still you want to believe (sweet lies)
