Tell Me Lies Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Burn, baby burn
You live and learn every time along the way
Lies, tellin' lies
Hypnotize, disguising things you say

[Chorus]
Tell me lies
Tell me all your pretty lies
Tell me lies
La-la-la-la-la-la-lies

[Verse 2]
Words, tiny words
Takin' turns ever burnin' memories
On, moving on
Moving on 'cause it's only make believe

[Chorus]
Tell me lies
Tell me all your pretty lies
Tell me lies
La-la-la-la-la-la-lies

[Bridge]
Every woman who's ever loved you is telling you lies
Everyone who's ever loved you would never deny
See The Black Keys Live
Get tickets as low as $63
[Chorus]
Tell me lies
Tell me all your pretty lies
Tell me lies
La-la-la-la-la-la-lies
Tell me lies
La-la-la-la-la-la-lies

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
