I only take what the good God's given
But they say I've had a piece on the side
As soon as I meet you, you start to criticize
Keep on talking till I'm tongue-tied
But don't you know it's just a lie, boy, on me
Don't you know it's just a lie, boy, can't you see
It's not in my name and I won't give a damn
I'm not guilty of the irony
You're the liar
You're the liar

Don't you know it's just a lie, boy, on me
Don't you know it's just a lie, boy, can't you see
Close your ears to the juiciest kind of
Cause I can't take the kind of abuse
Give me a light and you can hold my candle
Or hire a private dick to analyze the clues
Don't you know it's just a lie, boy, on me
Don't you know it's just a lie, boy, can't you see
My face is red and the sky is blue
Don't you know it's just a lie, boy, can't you see

Black is black, white is white
You're gonna get what you got
There's a light bulb on me
Don't you know it's just a light bulb
You can't see, you can't see
You can't see, you can't see
Criticism
You keep on talking, your life comes down
Don't you know it's just a light bulb on me
Don't you know it's just a light bulb
You can't see, you can't see
Don't you know it's just a light bulb on me
Don't you know it's just a light bulb
You can't see
Oh, don't you know it's just a night, oh
Oh, don't you know it's just a night, oh
Can't you see?
Oh, don't you know it's just a night, oh
