Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Listen to me She said she ten toes down, and she wanna see me grow But she never been around when I'm needing her the most Every time I come to town, she say she gotta go Why you gotta lie, girl? Why you gotta lie like a mattress? Daddy was a preacher and a Baptist But she not religious Told me that she's spiritual She looked me right in my eyes She believe in miracles, stars in the night sky That was like a year ago, crazy how the time flies I told her she was beautiful She didn't wanna hear it, though Not from me, at least, guess it wasn't meant to be I guess that's just the way it goes Wrote a song about you, ain't get a chance to play it, though Girl, you said you love me, it did go Now I'm feeling cold, like it's April, though Why you gotta lie? Why you gotta? Why you gotta? She said she ten toes down, and she wanna see me grow But she never been around when I'm needing her the most Every time I come to town, she say she gotta go Why you gotta lie, girl? Why you gotta lie like a mattress? Her and I were riding on a tandem bike Bells on the handlebars Took it downtown to the fancy park Dinner by the candlelight I said I'm loving how your eyes glow When I'm with you, I could die slow When I'm with you, it's like the time goes faster than a cyclone Please put down your iPhone I've been saving Groupons for tonight, though When I'm with you, why am I so, so happy? So happy And my voice got all raspy But she said she has somewhere to be And then she drove away in a taxi Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh She said she ten toes down, and she wanna see me grow But she never been around when I'm needing her the most Every time I come to town, she say she gotta go Why you gotta lie, girl?
