I Was Only Telling A Lie Lyrics - Jt - James Taylor

Got the one room suite in the downtown motel 

Got a lovely view 

Classic shot of the parking lot 

An off ramp of route 72 

Half flat six pack of lukewarm beer 

So lay down by my side 

Like to whisper sweet nothings in my filthy ear 

'til I'm satisfied 

Baby-bootie, juicy-fruity, truck-stop cutie, roadside-beauty 

I'm in love with you 

Hope it don't last too long 

You got the mackerel eyes 

Brought the side of fries 

You got me hypnotized 

I'm in love again 

Now baby when I told you that 

I love you 

I was only telling a lie 

I'll be long gone come the crack of dawn 

And I believe the word is 

Good-bye, bye baby, bye, bye 

I was only telling a lie 

There ain't no need to act like i 

Shot your dog, no 

I was only telling a lie 

Lie, lie, lie, lie...
