J.J. Cale - People Lie Lyrics

You can talk to the governor, talk to a prince
And talk to a preacher or a president
People lie, people lie and deceive
When they say one thing and they mean something else completely

Had me a woman, she would love me to the end
Two days later and she was with another man
People lie, people lie and deceive
Say one thing and they mean something else completely

Well, I bought me a new car, a lemon, no doubt
The wheels fell off, the salesman, he was out
People lie, people lie and deceive
When they say one thing and they mean something else completely

The bottom line, you understand
When some people talk, you can't believe what they're saying
People lie, people lie and deceive
They say one thing and they mean something else completely
