I'd Lie to You for Your Love Lyrics

I watched you walk into the room
I want to say this just right
If you ain't waiting for somebody special
Would you be with me tonight

I'm a doctor I'm a lawyer
I'm a movie star I'm an astronaut
And I own this bar
And I would lie to you for your love

Yes I'd lie to you for your love
I'd lie to you for your love
And that's the truth
I could tell you what you want to hear

And some secrets about myself
I could tell you you're the only one
And there could never be nobody else
I'm a doctor I'm a lawyer

I'm a movie star I'm an astronaut
And I own this bar
And I would lie to you for your love
Yes I'd lie to you for your love

I'd lie to you for your love
And that's the truth
I'm a doctor I'm a lawyer
I'm a movie star I'm an astronaut

And I own this bar
And I would lie to you for your love
Yes I'd lie to you for your love
I'd lie to you for your love

And that's the truth
And I would lie to you for your love
Yes I'd lie to you for your love
I'd lie to you for your love
And that's the truth

I watched you walk into the room
I want to say this just right
If you ain't waiting for somebody special
Would you be with me tonight

I'm a doctor I'm a lawyer 
I'm a movie star I'm an astronaut
And I own this bar
And I would lie to you for your love

Yes I'd lie to you for your love
I'd lie to you for your love
And that's the truth
I could tell you what you want to hear

And some secrets about myself
I could tell you you're the only one
And there could never be nobody else
I'm a doctor I'm a lawyer

I'm a movie star I'm an astronaut
And I own this bar
And I would lie to you for your love
Yes I'd lie to you for your love

I'd lie to you for your love
And that's the truth
I'm a doctor I'm a lawyer 
I'm a movie star I'm an astronaut

And I own this bar
And I would lie to you for your love
Yes I'd lie to you for your love
I'd lie to you for your love

And that's the truth
And I would lie to you for your love
Yes I'd lie to you for your love
I'd lie to you for your love
And that's the truth

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
