En Vogue Lyrics
"Lies"

Lies. (Mmmm.)
Lies. (Mmmm, mmmm.)
Using lies as alibis. (Using lies as alibis.)
Lies, lies. (Na, na, na, na, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh.)
Just a devil in disguise.

It's the same game played in so many ways.
Everyone is the victim too. Oooh.
It's just a waste of time made for simple minds.
So why do people insist on lies?

I'll live my life a different way.
Refuse to let myself become a victim
Getting caught up in a vicious web of lies.

(Lies.) They can hurt you (Lies.) and destroy you.
(Using lies as alibis.) Watch out for lies.
Lies. (Lies.) Lies.
(Just a devil in disguise.) Just a devil in disguise.

The nation's leaders as well as teachers
Practice lies as a way of life. Yes they do.
So think before you speak,
'Cause what you sow you reap.
The truth will always be brought to light.

Will we ever learn one day
That telling lies will always lead to madness,
Misery and sometimes pain.

Lies, lies.
(Using lies as alibis.) Using lies as alibis
Lies, lies.
(Just a devil in disguise.) And it's made for simple minds.
(Lies, lies.) Lies.
(Using lies as alibis.) Made for simple minds.
(Lies, lies.) You've got to think about it,
(Just a devil in disguise.) Those lies.

Lies and deceit, yes, it's running real rampant.
Communities suffering, yo, I can't stand it.
When we think of lies, we tend to think of politicians.
But what about the husband who's on a mission?
Lying to his wife so he can get it on and get some.
Coming back home with a dumb expression
Written on a face that's guilty as a criminal.
It's time to change your attitude.
People, do you hear me though?
Listen to a funky rhyme that's kicking knowledge that we need.
We lie about our hair and we know we got a weave.
Politicians lie about the things they're gonna do
And they re-lie the tale affects me and you.
A smoker lies about the money that he stole
And a dope dealer never tells you how he got his hold.
I guess what Debbie T is really trying to say
When you break it all down, we're really all the same.

I'll live my life a different way.
Refuse to let myself become a victim
Caught up in a vicious web of li-i-ies. Oh.

(Lies, lies.) Oh, oh, oh, oh.
(Using lies as alibis.) Using lies.
(Lies.) Stop lying. (Lies.) Stop cheating.
(Just a devil in disguise.) Na, na, na, na, oooh.
(Lies.) Oooh, hoo, oooh.
(Lies.) Oh, oh.
(Using lies as alibis.) Oh yeah.
They'll ruin your life. (Lies.)
You better think twice. (Lies.)
Stop lying and cheating and causing deception.
(Just a devil in disguise.) Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oooh.
(Lies, lies.) Those lies.
(Using lies as alibis.) Just a devil in disguise.
(Lies.) Those lies.
(Lies.) Evil, evil lies.
(Just a devil in disguise.)
Lies, lies.
(Using lies as alibis.) Oooh, hoo, hoo, hoo.
(Lies, lies.) Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
