(CN.C.)It ain’t com pli cat ed.

Well, I’ve grown to hate it.

I (C)nev er liked the taste of crow, but ba by, I (D)ate it.

(CN.C.)They tried to warn me.

They said that you were orn ’ry.

So, don’t (C)bring me those big brown eyes and tell me that you’re (A)sor ry.

Well, you (C)might as well throw gas o line on a fire,

(CN.C.)the way you (G)lie.

You (G)lie like a price less the (D)Per sian rug on a (G)rich man’s that floor.

And you lie like a coon dog (D)bask in’ in the sun shine ter (C)on my (G)porch.

Well, you (Em)lie like a pen ny in a (C)park in’ lot at the (D)gro c’ry (G)store.

It just comes (Am7)way too nat u ral (G)to (C)you,

the way you (G)lie.

(CN.C.)That ain’t my per fume.

I bet she had a cur few.

You (C)told me you were out with the boys and, ba by, I be lieved you.

So, why you look in’ so (Em7)nerv ous?

You know you’re gon na de serve

Well, my (C)dad dy’s gon na straight en you out like a piece of wire, like a piece of wire, the way you (G)lie.
