It ain't complicated
Well, I've grown to hate it
I never liked the taste of crow, but baby I ate it

They tried to warn me
They said that you were ornery 
So don't bring me those big brown eyes to tell me that you're sorry

Well, you might as well throw gasoline on a fire

The way you lie
You lie like you're a priceless Persian rug on a rich mans floor
And you like like a coon dog basking in the sunshine on my porch
Well, you lie like a penny in the parking lot at the grocery store
It just comes way too natural to you
The way you lie

That ain't my curfew
I bet she had a curfew
You told me you were out with the boys and baby I believed you

So why you looking so nervous?
You know you're gonna deserve this
I oughta kill you right now and do the whole wide world a service

Well, my daddy's gonna straighten you out like a piece of wire
Like a piece of wire

The way you lie
You lie like the man with the slicked back hair who showed me that boy
And you lie like the palm tree in the backyard after last months storm
Well, you lie like a penny in the parking lot at the grocery store
It just comes way too natural to you
The way you lie

Well, I tell you what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna drive to the big ol' muddy river
I'm gonna park my car in the middle of the mile long bridge
And then I'm gonna cry
Well, maybe just a little

Then I'm gonna slip off the ring that you put on my finger and give it a big ol' fling
And watch it sink
Down, down, down
Then it's gonna lie
Until the lord comes back around

Because you lie like a priceless Persian rug on a rich mans floor
You lie like a coon dog basking in the sunshine out on my porch
Yeah, you lie like a penny in the parking lot at the grocery store
It comes so dang natural to you
The way you lie
The way you lie
Well, it's what you do, it's who you are
